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.

The Cubs bring back veteran lefty Drew Pomeranz from Triple-A Iowa, hoping his competitive fire can reignite his career after a rough stint with the Angels. Pomeranz, 37, pitched a clean inning in his return and was a key bullpen contributor last season that helped the Cubs reach the playoffs. With Jordan Wicks heading back down to the minors due to a high ERA, the Cubs are banking on Pomeranz’s experience and resilience — no pressure, just a familiar arm ready to help.

The Chicago Cubs are riding a wild rollercoaster this season—crushing the Padres 23-3, then getting obliterated by the Cardinals 17-1. They’re the second team in MLB history to swing from a 15+ run win to a 15+ run loss, joining the 1894 Boston Beaneaters. Add in two 10-game winning streaks followed by a 10-game skid (only the 2017 Dodgers had a similar pattern), and you’ve got a team that’s both historically erratic and still clinging to second place in the NL Central, just 5.5 games behind the Brewers. Their latest meltdown featured rookie pitcher David Peterson surrendering a career-high 10 earned runs—though they avoided a shutout thanks to a double from Alex Bregman.

Cubs make a savvy bullpen move, optioning solid reliever Jordan Wicks to Triple-A and calling up Drew Pomeranz — a former Cub who’s shown major improvement and is now on a minor league deal with a reduced salary. Pomeranz, once a key piece in the Cubs’ bullpen in 2025, is primed to rejoin the team after a rocky start with the Angels, and his recent form could give the bullpen the boost it desperately needs.

The Cubs are aggressively hunting pitching help, but their moves are small and strategic—not the blockbuster deals fans crave. After a disastrous start by David Peterson and with multiple starters sidelined, GM Jed Hoyer is turning to veteran Drew Pomeranz on a minor league deal, hoping for a spark. With teams wary of trades amid looming lockout fears and draft prep, the Cubs are playing the long game, focusing on depth and hidden gems. Meanwhile, Pete Crow-Armstrong’s NL Player of the Month honor is a bright spot, but the real battle remains on the mound.
