Cubs' Ben Brown: Fans six in no-decision
Brown came away with a no-decision in Tuesday's 5-4 win over the Marlins, allowing two runs on five hits over 5.1 innings. He struck out six without walking a batter.
The right-hander gave up two singles in the top of the sixth before getting lifted after 72 pitches (56 strikes), denying him a shot at his third quality start of the season. Brown has helped steady an injury-ravaged Cubs rotation in May, posting a 2.76 ERA, 1.04 WHIP and 19:2 K:BB through 16.1 innings over three outings, and if the 25-year-old maintains his control gains, he could be headed for a breakout campaign. Brown is scheduled for a rematch with the Marlins early next week in Miami for his next start.

Cubs' Chris Flexen: Earns first win of 2025
Flexen (1-0) worked around a hit and a walk to toss two scoreless innings of relief and earn the win in Tuesday's 5-4 victory over the Marlins. He struck out one.
Making his fourth appearance in the majors this season, Flexen picked up his first win. After working as a starter in recent years, the veteran has transitioned to the bullpen in 2025, and he's off to a good start for the Cubs. Flexen has yet to allow a run across seven innings of work and he's struck out six. The righty has also covered multiple innings on two occasions, giving Chicago some valuable length in relief.

Cubs' Pete Crow-Armstrong: Productive from leadoff spot
Crow-Armstrong went 2-for-3 with a home run and two RBI in Tuesday's 5-4 win over the Marlins.
Crow-Armstrong has moved up to the top of the order recently with Ian Happ (oblique) out, and the former has continued to deliver. The youngster is in the midst of a breakout campaign with 11 home runs and 13 stolen bases, both of which lead the team. Crow-Armstrong's combination of power and speed makes him a very useful fantasy asset.

Cubs' Jon Berti: Idle Tuesday
Berti is not in the Cubs' lineup against the Marlins on Tuesday.
Berti has been sitting for roughly one game per series since April 27. He will likely start in Wednesday's rubber match after playing in Monday's 5-2 victory over Miami. Nicky Lopez will start at third base and bat ninth with Berti on the bench.

Cubs' Ryan Pressly: Bypassed in save opportunity
Pressly was not used in a save situation Monday, as Drew Pomeranz instead closed out the 5-2 win over the Marlins.
Pressly last pitched Friday, so fatigue shouldn't have been an issue. It appears the Cubs are ready to try other options at the end of games due to Pressly's struggles. The veteran righty has a 7.07 ERA and 1.93 WHIP, and he's only struck out six batters across 14 innings. Porter Hodge seemed like the most likely ninth-inning alternative coming into the year, but he's also struggled with a 5.71 ERA of his own. The Chicago bullpen is in flux at the moment, and while Pressly could re-emerge as the closer at some point, his fantasy stock is trending down for now.

Cubs' Tyson Miller: Shifted to 60-day injured list
The Cubs transferred Miller (hip) to the 60-day injured list Tuesday, Sahadev Sharma of The Athletic reports.
Miller has been out all season with a left hip impingement. He's allowed five runs (four earned) over 8.2 innings on a rehab assignment and will be eligible for activation May 20.

Cubs' Moises Ballesteros: Promotion made official
The Cubs selected Ballesteros' contract from Triple-A Iowa on Tuesday, Sahadev Sharma of The Athletic reports.
Ballesteros earned the promotion after batting .368 with four home runs, 18 RBI and three stolen bases over 34 games at Iowa. The 21-year-old will be making his major-league debut when he gets into a game and could serve as the Cubs' primary designated hitter while Ian Happ (oblique) is out, with Seiya Suzuki covering left field.

Cubs' Ian Happ: Officially placed on IL
Happ (oblique) was placed on the 10-day injured list Tuesday, Sahadev Sharma of The Athletic reports.
The move is retroactive to May 10. Moises Ballesteros is making his big-league debut Tuesday while Seiya Suzuki shifts to the outfield in Happ's absence. Happ is hitting .269 with three home runs, two steals, 29 runs and 19 RBI in 39 games.

Cubs' Ian Happ: Headed for IL
The Cubs are expected to place Happ (oblique) on the 10-day injured list Tuesday, Bruce Levine of 670TheScore.com reports.
The club has yet to make this move official, but Happ is out of the lineup Monday against the Marlins for the third game in a row due to the oblique issue and isn't progressing as quickly as the club had hoped. Because he hasn't played since May 9, his IL stint would be retroactive to that date, meaning that he could be activated as soon as May 20. The Cubs plan to call up Moises Ballesteros from Triple-A Iowa in a corresponding move, and he will likely take over as the team's primary designated hitter, which will allow Seiya Suzuki to continue serving as Happ's main replacement in left field.

Cubs' Moises Ballesteros: Ready for big-league debut
Ballesteros is expected to be called up from Triple-A Iowa ahead of Tuesday's game against the Marlins, Bruce Levine of 670TheScore.com reports.
A 21-year-old catching prospect, Ballesteros will likely enter the lineup Tuesday against the Marlins and could see regular starts at designated hitter with Ian Happ (oblique) set to be placed on the injured list in a corresponding move. Ballesteros has been mashing at Triple-A so far this season, batting .368 with four home runs, 18 RBI and three stolen bases over 34 games.

Cubs' Dansby Swanson: Slugs ninth homer
Swanson went 2-for-4 with a two-run homer in Monday's 5-2 win against the Marlins.
The Chicago shortstop opened the game's scoring when he popped a 400-foot, two-run homer off Miami starter Cal Quantrill in the fifth. Swanson has been scorching hot lately, batting .422 (19-for-45) with five homers, 12 runs scored and nine RBI across his last 13 games. Overall, the 31-year-old is slashing .248/.303/.472 with 29 runs scored, 24 RBI and four steals over 176 plate appearances.

Cubs' Drew Pomeranz: Secures first save Monday
Pomeranz collected the save in Monday's 5-2 victory over the Marlins, allowing one hit and no walks over a scoreless inning with two strikeouts.
The veteran southpaw collected his first save since Aug. 11, 2020 against the Dodgers when he was on the Padres. Pomeranz could enter the saves discussion in Chicago since Porter Hodge unraveled in high leverage during Sunday's loss to the Mets and Ryan Pressly has struggled to a 7.07 ERA across 14 innings. Pomeranz has been steady since debuting with the Cubs on April 25, firing 7.2 scoreless innings with a 0.52 WHIP and 8:2 K:BB.

Cubs' Colin Rea: Notches second quality start
Rea (3-0) earned the win Monday versus the Marlins, conceding two runs on six hits and two walks over 6.2 innings. He struck out four.
The veteran right-hander looked sharp against a weak Miami lineup, tossing 57 strikes out of 98 total pitches. The only blemish on Rea's outing came in the seventh inning when Derek Hill popped a two-run homer to chase the Chicago starter from the game. Rea now owns a 2.48 ERA, 1.29 WHIP and 29:9 K:BB across 36.1 innings. His solid performance should continue to keep him in the rotation, with his next turn currently slated to be against the White Sox at home this weekend.

Cubs' Miguel Amaya: Enters lineup Monday
Amaya is starting at catcher and batting eighth in Monday's game against the Marlins.
The Cubs are mixing things up a bit with Ian Happ (oblique) out for the third straight day, as regular DH Seiya Suzuki is covering Happ's spot in the outfield. Carson Kelly is sliding in as the DH on Monday, which opens up a start behind the plate for Amaya. While he hasn't been able to match Kelly's scintillating 1.151 OPS, Amaya has been a reliable offensive performer with a .741 OPS, three home runs and 18 RBI across 21 games.

Cubs' Carson Kelly: Serving as DH Monday
Kelly is serving as the designated hitter and batting fifth in Monday's game against the Marlins.
With Ian Happ (oblique) out for the third straight game, the Cubs have shifted Seiya Suzuki into the outfield, which has opened up the DH role. Justin Turner filled in the last two days, but it will be Kelly on Monday, with Miguel Amaya getting the nod behind the plate. Kelly has been scorching hot to begin the year with a 1.151 OPS across 24 games.
