Cubs' Doug Nikhazy: Sent outright to Triple-A
The Cubs outrighted Nikhazy to Triple-A Iowa on Wednesday.
He's no longer on the 40-man roster but will remain in the organization after passing through waivers unclaimed. Nikhazy has collected an 8.44 ERA and 30:21 K:BB over 26.2 innings covering six starts and two relief outings with Triple-A Iowa this season.

Cubs' Javier Assad: Earns fifth win
Assad (5-1) allowed two runs on five hits and struck out one without walking a batter to earn the win over the Rockies on Wednesday.
Assad came up an out short of a quality start, but he picked up his second win in a row. He's allowed just two runs over 18 innings across three outings (two starts) in June while filling in for Jameson Taillon (hamstring) in the rotation. Assad now has a 3.89 ERA, 1.00 WHIP and 25:9 K:BB through 44 innings over 11 appearances (five starts) on the year. Taillon is expected to be out beyond the All-Star break and Matthew Boyd (knee/shoulder) is making a rehab start Saturday, so Assad is tentatively projected for at least one more start. He's lined up to face the Mets in New York next week.

Cubs' Dansby Swanson: Hits first home run since May
Swanson went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Wednesday's 8-6 win over the Rockies
Swanson has been in a miserable funk at the plate, but he showed some signs of life with his eighth home run of the season Wednesday. It was the shortstop's first long ball since May 18, a span of 24 games. In the time since then, Swanson was batting just .135 with a .414 OPS and a lone RBI. It will take a few more good games for fantasy managers to begin to trust that the veteran is out of his slump.

Cubs' Jacob Webb: Records save Wednesday
Webb allowed a solo home run but still managed to secure the save in Wednesday's 8-6 win over the Rockies. He struck out one.
Staked to an 8-5 lead, Webb allowed a home run to Kyle Karros in the top of the ninth inning, but the righty buckled in to secure his second save of the season. Webb got the first save opportunity in the absence of Daniel Palencia, who was placed on the injured list Tuesday with right elbow inflammation. It's unclear how long Palencia will ultimately be out, which could make Webb a good speculative add in the meantime.

Cubs' Pete Crow-Armstrong: Power surge continues Wednesday
Crow-Armstrong went 1-for-4 with a walk and a solo home run in Wednesday's 8-6 win over the Rockies.
Crow-Armstrong is on a tear lately with three home runs over his last five games, and he's up to 16 long balls for the season through 75 contests. During a breakout 2025 campaign, the youngster blasted 31 home runs in 157 regular-season games. If this recent hot streak is any indication, Crow-Armstrong could surpass that mark for homers in 2026.

Cubs' Matthew Boyd: Restarting assignment Saturday
Boyd (knee/shoulder) will begin a rehab assignment Saturday, Jared Wyllys of AllCHGO.com reports.
The location of Boyd's rehab outing has yet to be announced, but it will be his first game action since he suffered a setback in his shoulder following his June 6 outing at Triple-A Iowa. It's also unknown whether Saturday will mark the left-hander's final rehab outing. If it is, he would be lined up to make his return to the Cubs' rotation June 25 against the Mets.

Cubs' Edward Cabrera: Expected to make next start
Manager Craig Counsell said Wednesday that Cabrera's right hand is feeling better, and he's expected to be on a normal schedule leading up to his next start, Jared Wyllys of AllCHGO.com reports.
Cabrera was removed from his start Tuesday due to cramping in his right hand, but the Cubs don't seem to be very concerned about the issue. As long as he gets through his upcoming bullpen session without any problems, he should be able to make his next start against the Mets next week.

Cubs' Moises Ballesteros: Kept out of lineup against lefty
Ballesteros is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Rockies.
Left-hander Sean Sullivan will start for the Rockies, so the Cubs will send the left-handed Ballesteros to the bench and swap a righty bat in Matt Shaw into the lineup. The Cubs have gone out of their way to shield Ballesteros from lefties this season, with the 22-year-old having logged just eight of his 175 plate appearances against same-handed pitching.

Cubs' Pete Crow-Armstrong: Slows down but still goes deep
Crow-Armstrong went 1-for-5 with a solo home run in Tuesday's 5-2 loss to the Rockies.
One night after collecting his first career cycle, Crow-Armstrong couldn't reproduce the volume of hits, but he still managed his 14th home run of the season. The 24-year-old has gone deep eight times in his last 16 games, and he's batting a robust .417 this month with 10 RBI and 11 runs scored. Crow-Armstrong is back to being a high-level fantasy star.

Cubs' Edward Cabrera: Exits with trainer
Cabrera was removed from Tuesday's game against the Rockies with a right hand cramp, Jesse Rogers of ESPN.com reports.
Cabrera made it through 4.1 innings Tuesday before one of the Cubs' trainers came out to the mound to look at his hand. The initial concern was that the 28-year-old was dealing with blisters -- something that's already caused him to spend time on the IL this season -- but he was instead pulled due to an unrelated issue. It's unlikely that his cramps will force him back onto the IL, but it's something the Cubs will presumably monitor leading up to his next start.

Cubs' Moises Ballesteros: Resting up Tuesday
Ballesteros isn't in the lineup for Tuesday's game against Colorado.
Ballesteros will retreat to the bench Tuesday after going just 2-for-14 across his last five games. His absence will give Seiya Suzuki a start as the Cubs' designated hitter, opening up right field for Matt Shaw.

Cubs' Carson Kelly: Idle Tuesday
Kelly isn't in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Rockies.
Kelly will move to the bench for the third time in Chicago's last four games while Miguel Amaya catches for starter Edward Cabrera and bats eighth.

Cubs' Gavin Hollowell: Back in big-league bullpen
The Cubs recalled Hollowell from Triple-A Iowa on Tuesday, Meghan Montemurro of the Chicago Tribune reports.
Hollowell was knocked around for two runs on two hits and four walks over 1.2 innings in his lone appearance with the Cubs earlier this season. He will likely be utilized in low-leverage situations.

Cubs' Daniel Palencia: Placed on IL with inflamed elbow
The Cubs placed Palencia on the 15-day injured list Tuesday with right elbow inflammation, Meghan Montemurro of the Chicago Tribune reports.
Palencia picked up the win Monday versus the Rockies, tossing a scoreless top of the ninth inning before the Cubs walked it off in the bottom of the frame. However, he's now on the IL for the second time this season after missing time earlier this year with a lat strain. The Cubs could lean on a committee approach at closer while Palencia is sidelined, with Caleb Thielbar, Phil Maton and Jacob Webb all in the mix.

Cubs' Javier Assad: Drawing another start
Assad is slated to start Wednesday's game against the Rockies at Wrigley Field.
After spinning 6.1 scoreless innings of long relief June 7 against the Giants in Chicago following Jameson Taillon's (hamstring) early exit, Assad ended up taking over as the Cubs' new No. 5 starter last week following Taillon's move to injured list. Assad thrived again in a matchup with a weak Giants offense -- this time in San Francisco -- striking out five batters over six shutout frames en route to picking up his fourth win of the season. The right-hander will get another favorable matchup for his upcoming turn, but Assad's standing in the rotation will be murky following Wednesday's outing. After a recent setback, Matthew Boyd (knee/shoulder) was able to throw a bullpen session Tuesday, and he could be ready to return from the 15-day injured list to replace Assad in the rotation the next time the Cubs need a fifth starter.

Cubs' Matt Shaw: Draws walk-off walk
Shaw went 2-for-4 with a triple, two RBI, a run scored and a walk in Monday's 5-4 win over the Rockies.
Shaw picked up a pair of hits, including an RBI triple in the sixth inning, but it was his walk with the bases loaded in the ninth inning that made him the hero of the Cubs' walk-off win. Manning right field, Monday marked the 24-year-old's first start since being reinstated from the injured list Tuesday. Shaw's defensive versatility opens the door for him to fill in at multiple positions, though there isn't a clear path to an everyday role at the moment. Across 113 plate appearances this season, the 2023 first-round pick is slashing .255/.313/.422 with 10 extra-base hits (three homers), 14 RBI, 11 runs and three stolen bases.
