Cubs' Ethan Roberts: Sent down to Triple-A
The Cubs optioned Roberts to Triple-A Iowa on Sunday.
Roberts was recalled by the Cubs from Triple-A on April 9 and allowed just one run over his first 6.1 innings in the majors. However, the 27-year-old right-hander struggled in his last outing against the Phillies on Saturday, allowing four runs on three hits and a walk over two innings. That brought Roberts' ERA and WHIP up to 5.40 and 1.20, respectively, and he'll return to Triple-A to regain some form. Tom Cosgrove was recalled by the Cubs from Iowa in a corresponding move.

Cubs' Tom Cosgrove: Recalled by Cubs
The Cubs recalled Cosgrove from Triple-A Iowa on Sunday.
Cosgrove started the season with the Padres but was traded to the Cubs on April 10. He tossed four scoreless innings in Triple-A while logging seven strikeouts, and he'll move to the majors to provide left-handed depth out of the Cubs' bullpen. Ethan Roberts was optioned to Iowa in a corresponding move.

Cubs' Jon Berti: Tallies three more hits Saturday
Berti went 3-for-4 with a run scored in Saturday's 10-4 loss to the Phillies.
After collecting two hits Friday, Berti tallied three singles Saturday to raise his season batting average to an even .300. The veteran utility player doesn't offer a ton of power, though he's seeing the ball well at the moment and has good speed with seven stolen bases in seven attempts this year.

Cubs' Ethan Roberts: Struggles Saturday
Roberts allowed four runs on three hits and a walk across two innings of relief in Saturday's 10-4 loss to the Phillies. He struck out one.
Starter Ben Brown was tagged with the loss after allowing six runs in 3.2 innings, but Roberts wasn't much more effective out of the bullpen. The righty came into the contest with a tidy 1.42 ERA, which ballooned to 5.40 after Saturday's outing. Roberts should stick in a middle-relief role for the Cubs for the time being, with limited fantasy upside.

Cubs' Ben Brown: Tagged for six runs in loss
Brown (2-2) took the loss against the Phillies on Saturday, allowing six runs on nine hits and one walk while striking out five across 3.2 innings.
Brown went through the first three frames with relative ease but got rocked in the fourth inning, allowing a base runner in five straight at-bats and giving up six runs before being lifted for Drew Pomeranz. Brown has yielded at least five runs in two of his last four outings and has allowed 34 hits through 25.1 innings, which is fifth-most among qualified starters in the National League. He'll look to rebound in his next start, tentatively slated for next weekend on the road against Milwaukee.

Cubs' Seiya Suzuki: Knocks in three runs Saturday
Suzuki went 2-for-4 with three RBI in Saturday's 10-4 loss to the Phillies.
Suzuki put the Cubs on the board in the fifth inning on a two-run single, and he brought home another run in the seventh frame on a single to center field. Suzuki has logged two hits in each of his last three starts, and his 23 RBI on the season, which is tied for fourth-most in the National League.

Cubs' Michael Busch: Heads to bench
Busch is not in Saturday's lineup against the Phillies.
The Cubs haven't faced many lefties this year, but Busch has yet to make a start against a same-handed pitcher. Justin Turner will start at first base against southpaw Jesus Luzardo.

Cubs' Jon Berti: Two hits in Friday's win
Berti went 2-for-4 with a double, an RBI and a run scored in Friday's 4-0 win over the Phillies.
Berti has emerged as Chicago's primary third baseman following the demotion of Matt Shaw, and he's provided decent production with a .250 average for the season. The veteran's greatest asset is his speed, as he has seven stolen bases in seven attempts, and he could run more often now that his playing time has increased.

Cubs' Pete Crow-Armstrong: Shows off speed Friday
Crow-Armstrong went 1-for-3 with an RBI and a run scored in Friday's 4-0 win over the Phillies. He also stole two bases.
Crow-Armstrong is displaying his strength as a base stealer early in the season, as he already has 12 swipes in 13 attempts and he's stolen two bases in each of his last two games. The youngster had 27 steals a year ago while batting only .237 with a .286 on-base percentage. Crow-Armstrong is batting .295 with a .339 on-base percentage so far in 2025, and he could fly past his 2024 steals total if he keeps reaching base at a higher clip.

Cubs' Ian Happ: Delivers two doubles in win
Happ went 2-for-5 with two doubles and an RBI in Friday's 4-0 win over the Phillies.
Happ has been in a groove lately, as he's batting .356 over his last 10 games with a home run, six RBI and six runs scored. The veteran outfielder started slowly with a .222 average prior to his recent hot stretch, but he seems to be rounding into his usual form as a productive leadoff hitter for the Cubs.

Cubs' Colin Rea: Impressive in first win
Rea (1-0) earned the win Friday over the Phillies, allowing three hits and two walks over five scoreless innings. He struck out seven.
Making his second start in place of Justin Steele (elbow), Rea turned in five strong innings against the Phillies en route to his first win of the season. The 34-year-old Rea has gotten off to a nice start this year, both as a starter and out of the bullpen. His ERA is down to 0.96 with a 1.07 WHIP and 19:3 K:BB across 18.2 innings. Rea's currently slated to face the Pirates on the road in his next outing.

Cubs' Ryan Pressly: Availability Friday TBD
Cubs manager Craig Counsell said that Pressly's (knee) availability for Friday's game against the Phillies is yet to be determined, Jordan Bastian of MLB.com reports.
Pressly had to have his right knee drained Tuesday. He played catch Thursday and will do so again Friday before the Cubs determine whether he's available to pitch in the series opener versus the Phillies. Porter Hodge is next in line to close for Chicago if Pressly cannot pitch, although an appearance Friday would be Hodge's third in four days, so it's possible the Cubs would prefer not to use him.

Cubs' Javier Assad: Dealing with Grade 2 oblique strain
Cubs manager Craig Counsell said Friday that Assad has been shut down after being diagnosed with a Grade 2 left oblique strain, Jordan Bastian of MLB.com reports.
Assad re-injured his oblique during a rehab start Tuesday with Triple-A Iowa. It's not clear how long the right-hander will remain shut down, but Counsell intimated that Assad will have to start building up from scratch once he's cleared to resume a throwing program. It's a significant setback for Assad, who will likely remain sidelined until at least June.

Cubs' Seiya Suzuki: Back in action Friday
Suzuki (wrist) is batting third as the designated hitter Friday against the Phillies.
Suzuki was scratched from Wednesday's starting nine due to a recurrence of a wrist issue, though he's good to go following Thursday's team off day. The 30-year-old has cooled off a bit lately with a .208 batting average (5-for-24) in his past six contests, but it's been a productive start to the campaign overall with six homers, 20 RBI, 14 runs and a .276/.354/.540 slash line in 99 plate appearances.
