It's been 513 days since Justin Steele last threw a pitch in MLB for the Chicago Cubs. A devastating elbow injury requiring UCL surgery shut him down in April 2025, and a flexor strain 12 months later threw a wrench in his recovery.
What if I had told you Wednesday afternoon that in the game in which the Cubs had to face Jacob Misiorowski, they’d pretty much give him the worst beatdown of his MLB career?

It was a sweltering night in Chicago on Wednesday as the Cubs and Brewers met for the third installment in a four-game set at Wrigley Field. The Cubs took the opener in a record-breaking 17-3 rout on Monday night.
How many of the MLB players to hit three home runs in a single game multiple times in the same season can you name in five minutes?
I’m going to get something off my chest. Any level of baseball where the player gets paid a salary is “professional.” (Name, Image and Likeness money in college doesn’t count.) The Dominican Summer League and Arizona Complex League are professional leagues.
The MLB Draft doesn’t get the same attention as the NFL Draft…or the NBA Draft…or even the NHL Draft. There’s the element of a stay in a farm system, the general lack of immediate impact for MLB draft picks, and the fact that it’s tougher for one MLB player to turn a franchise’s fortunes around.
It has been quite some time since the Chicago Cubs have seen their former ace, left-hander Justin Steele take the mound.
In a rough night for the Cubs on the pitching and defensive front, Craig Counsell is rolling out arguable his best defensive lineup available to him. The Cubs lost their NL Wild Card lead to the Phillies last night in their 9-4 loss to the Brewers, meaning if the playoffs ended today, the Phillies would host a three-game Wild Card series.
The Chicago Cubs took a gamble back in 2021 when they traded All-Star shortstop Javier Baez and pitcher Trevor Williams for a 19-year-old prospect recovering from shoulder surgery, who some felt was a bit undersized to ever become a a true power hitter in the majors.
The Washington Nationals designated left-hander Tom Cosgrove for assignment on Wednesday, a sudden roster move that ends his brief tenure in the capital and reconnects him, at least in the news cycle, with the Chicago Cubs.

Even the most successful regular-season teams in Major League Baseball have failed to win it all. Here's our list of 20 such clubs that fall into that category.
The Chicago Cubs lost 9-4 to the Milwaukee Brewers on Tuesday. Not only was it a demoralizing loss at a critical juncture, but it was also in front of a “home crowd.” At least that is the perception according to ESPN’s Jeff Passan.
There's one glaring fault holding the Cubs back, and it could derail their World Series hopes.

The Chicago Cubs just wrapped up one of the most dominant offensive months in the history of Major League Baseball.
Since his call-up in late May, Chicago Cubs rookie Pedro Ramirez has been a reliable piece of the lineup, helping the club in every role asked of him. Across 61 games, the 22-year-old infielder has posted a .285 batting average, .347 on-base percentage, .783 OPS, four home runs and 24 RBIs.
The Cubs are planning to select the contract of corner infielder B.J. Murray when rosters expand tomorrow, per Robert Murray of FanSided. The Bahamas Baseball Association was first to report that the Bahamian-born switch-hitter was on his way to the majors.
