Cubs President Jed Hoyer stands by star Alex Bregman after a sluggish play, insisting elite players like Bregman deserve the benefit of the doubt—and that no one on the team is ever not giving full effort. Bregman admits regret, citing injury management as key to staying healthy. Manager Craig Counsell adds that mistakes happen, and the focus remains on team success. Meanwhile, the Cubs’ 15-5 run since early June has drowned out any drama, and with Dansby Swanson exploding for RBIs after a June reset, momentum is building. Hoyer confirms no big pitching trades are on the horizon, instead eyeing smaller moves—and welcomes Drew Pomeranz’s return as a lefty spark plug.

Pete Crow-Armstrong is having a breakout season, leading the Chicago Cubs to second place in the NL Central with his elite all-around play—he’s third in the league in WAR, crushing homers, slashing over .300, and stealing bases. His June dominance earned him National League Player of the Month honors, prompting the Cubs to celebrate with a social media graphic swapping “June” for his initials “PCA.” With a big homestand against the Cardinals ahead, Crow-Armstrong’s momentum could be the spark the Cubs need to finish strong.
