It wasn’t always pretty, but the Cubs have started to build some momentum, and now the question becomes whether they can keep it going. Brendan Miller and Corey Freedman break down what’s fueling the recent success and what still needs to improve for the Cubs to make a sustained push. They’ll discuss Pete Crow-Armstrong’s emergence as one of MLB’s top performers, the continued offensive inconsistencies throughout the lineup, rough stretches from Dansby Swanson and Nico Hoerner, and what increased opportunities for Matt Shaw and Pedro Ramirez could mean moving forward. Plus, they’ll level-set on a pitching staff dealing with even more injuries and examine the impact of key contributors like Matthew Boyd and Edward Cabrera. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

The Chicago Cubs are dealing with another wave of injury setbacks as the roster continues to take hits heading into the All-Star break. The pitching staff in particular has been hit hard, with Jameson Taillon expected to miss time, while Porter Hodge, Hunter Harvey, Shelby Miller, and Riley Martin are all on the injured list. The rotation depth has also taken a blow with Cade Horton sidelined, and Matthew Boyd’s situation further complicates the Cubs’ pitching plans, as well as Daniel Palencia. With so many arms unavailable and timelines stretching deeper into the season, Chicago is being forced to lean heavily on organizational depth at a critical point in 2026.

The Chicago Cubs suffered a frustrating loss to the Colorado Rockies at Wrigley Field, but the bigger concern may be another injury to the pitching staff. Starter Edward Cabrera exited Tuesday's game with an apparent injury, adding to the Cubs' growing injury crisis. Pete Crow-Armstrong stayed red hot with another home run, while Matt Shaw continued to contribute offensively, but the rest of Chicago's lineup went quiet in the series-tying defeat. Join CHGO Cubs hosts Luke Stuckmeyer and Justin Roman as they break down the loss, Cabrera's injury, PCA's incredible surge, and what it all means for the Cubs moving forward.

The Chicago Cubs took Game 1 of their series against the Colorado Rockies at Wrigley Field, an important response after the Rockies surprisingly won the previous series between the two teams in Colorado. Looking to make a statement and prove the road struggles were a fluke, the Cubs were powered by Pete Crow-Armstrong, who put together a historic performance, falling just short of the 13th cycle in Chicago Cubs history with a home run, double, and single while also impacting a huge triple play and keeping the offense alive throughout the game. Shota Imanaga was excellent on the mound and came within an out of a quality start before being lifted in the sixth inning, while Matt Shaw made a strong return from injury and delivered the game-winning moment with a walk-off walk to seal it for Chicago.
