Cubs' Jameson Taillon: Fans seven in quality start
Taillon (1-1) got the win Wednesday against the Athletics. He allowed two runs on four hits and three walks while striking out seven across six innings.
It was a nice bounce-back performance for Taillon after he got knocked around for six runs in his first start against the Diamondbacks on Friday. His lone blemish came in the third inning when he gave up a two-run home run to Brent Rooker, but Taillon proceeded to retire 10 of the next 13 batters (including five strikeouts) and finished the game with 19 whiffs across 94 pitches. Taillon's next start is tentatively slated for next week at home against the Rangers.

Cubs' Pete Crow-Armstrong: Doubles, swipes bag in win
Crow-Armstrong went 2-for-4 with a double, an RBI and a run scored in Wednesday's 10-2 win over the Athletics. He also stole a base.
Crow-Armstrong was effective in the lopsided win, and he seems to be rounding into form. Over his last three games, the speedy outfielder has gone 5-for-13 with two doubles, two RBI and three runs scored. It's a small sample, but if Crow-Armstrong can keep it up, he should be able to post useful fantasy numbers due to his ability on the basepaths.

Cubs' Nico Hoerner: Effective on bases Wednesday
Hoerner went 1-for-4 with a walk, an RBI and two runs scored in Wednesday's 10-2 win over the Athletics. He also stole two bases.
Hoerner maximized his time on the basepaths, as he stole both second and third base and also scored twice. The infielder has three steals in his last two games, so he appears to be fully up to speed after missing Chicago's opening two-game series in Tokyo as he recovered from October flexor tendon surgery. Hoerner posted a career-best 43 stolen bases in 2023, and he could threaten that number this year if he stays healthy.

Cubs' Matt Shaw: Drives in two runs Wednesday
Shaw went 2-for-4 with one walk, two runs and two RBI in Wednesday's 10-2 win over the Athletics.
Both of the runs Shaw batted in Wednesday came on singles in the third and seventh frame in a blowout win. The 23-year-old third baseman has logged a hit in four of his last five games, and over that span he has gone 5-for-17 with four walks, five runs, one home run and three RBI.

Cubs' Seiya Suzuki: Drills two homers Wednesday
Suzuki went 3-for-5 with one walk, two home runs and five RBI in Wednesday's 10-2 win over the Athletics.
Suzuki gave the Cubs a 4-0 lead in the second inning when he took Jeffrey Springs deep for a three-run homer. Suzuki smacked a solo home run in the fourth frame before knocking in his fifth run of the day in the seventh on an RBI single. The 30-year-old struggled to open the season with just two hits in his first five games, but over his last four outings he's gone 9-for-19 with three walks, four home runs and 11 RBI.

Cubs' Miguel Amaya: Absent from Wednesday's lineup
Amaya is not in the lineup for Wednesday's game versus the Athletics.
He'll sit in favor of Carson Kelly, who is getting his second start in the series after hitting for the cycle Monday. It's been a fairly even split between Amaya and Kelly so far this season in terms of playing time, with Amaya drawing five starts to Kelly's four.

Cubs' Michael Busch: Taking seat versus southpaw
Busch is out of the lineup for Wednesday contest against the Athletics.
Southpaw Jeffrey Springs is on the bump for the Athletics, so the left-handed-hitting Busch will begin the series finale on the bench. Justin Turner will start at first base and bat cleanup for the Cubs.

Cubs' Kyle Tucker: Homer streak at four games
Tucker went 2-for-3 with two walks, a double, a solo home run and two additional runs scored in Tuesday's 7-4 win over the A's.
The 28-year-old slugger took Luis Severino deep in the third inning, giving Tucker a homer in four straight games. He's had a blistering start to his Cubs tenure, batting .353 (12-for-34) through eight contests with five doubles, four homers, nine runs and 11 RBI, and those free passes figure to get more frequent if teams decide it's not worth the risk of pitching to him while he's locked in.

Cubs' Ryan Pressly: Collects second save
Pressly gave up a hit in a scoreless ninth inning Tuesday to record his second save of the season in a 7-4 win over the A's.
The veteran right-hander has appeared in four of the Cubs' first eight games and hasn't exactly been dominant, posting a 6.75 ERA and 1:4 K:BB in four innings, but he's 2-for-2 in converting save chances. Pressly should remain Chicago's closer as long as he's getting the job done, but if his struggles continue and begin to turn into blown saves, Porter Hodge -- who picked up his third hold Tuesday and has yet to give up a run in four innings with a 5:3 K:BB -- is ready to step in.

Cubs' Justin Steele: Powered to win by offense
Steele (2-1) collected the win Tuesday in a 7-4 victory over the A's, giving up four runs on seven hits and a walk over 6.2 innings. He struck out six.
The southpaw served up two-run homers to Brent Rooker in the first inning and Shea Langeliers in the third, but the Cubs' offense bailed him out with a couple long balls of its own. Steele has been taken deep five times in his first three starts of 2025, a somewhat worrying trend for a pitcher who's never had serious issues keeping the ball in the park before -- over the prior three seasons, he never posted a HR/9 rate north of 0.80 -- but the sample size is still small. Steele will look for his third straight win in his next outing, which lines up to come at home early next week against the Rangers.

Cubs' Dansby Swanson: Goes deep again Monday
Swanson went 2-for-5 with a home run, a double, a walk, two total runs and three total RBI in Monday's 18-3 thrashing of the Athletics.
Swanson homered for the second straight game, swatting a solo shot to center field in the first inning. The veteran shortstop plated two additional runs on a sixth-inning double. Following a slow start to the campaign, Swanson has gone 4-for-9 with four RBI over his past two contests.

Cubs' Michael Busch: Plates four in rout
Busch went 3-for-6 with a home run, two total runs and four total RBI against the Athletics in an 18-3 win Monday.
Busch was one of four Chicago players with three or more hits in the offensive onslaught. He hit the first homer of the game for Chicago, knocking a two-run shot to right-center field in the first inning. The long ball was the first extra-base hit of the season for Busch, who had gone just 4-for-18 at the plate prior to Monday's big performance.

Cubs' Carson Kelly: Makes history with March cycle
Kelly hit for the cycle against the Athletics in an 18-3 win Monday, going 4-for-4 with a home run, a triple, a double, two walks, three runs and five RBI.
Per ABC 7 Chicago, Kelly became the first MLB player in history to hit for the cycle in the month of March and just the 17th catcher to accomplish the feat. The plodding backstop got the most difficult hit in the cycle in his final plate appearance, ricocheting a hit off the center-field wall in the eighth inning and reaching third base after the ball rolled on the outfield grass. The triple was just the third of Kelly's 10-year big-league career. He had gone 1-for-6 over two starts prior to Monday's explosive performance.

Cubs' Kyle Tucker: Posts four hits, three RBI in rout
Tucker went 4-for-7 with a home run, two doubles, four total runs and three total RBI in Monday's 18-3 win over the Athletics.
Tucker and Carson Kelly both had four hits for Chicago on a night when the team exploded for 18 runs. The star outfielder capped the outburst with a 417-foot solo shot in the ninth inning to notch his third straight game with a homer. Tucker has been everything the Cubs could have hoped for when they traded for him last December. Through seven games, Tucker is slashing .323/.400/.742 with three long balls, four doubles, six runs, 10 RBI and a stolen base.

Cubs' Colin Rea: Logs three-inning save
Rea earned a save against the Athletics on Monday, pitching three scoreless innings during which he gave up four hits and struck out one batter.
Rea had a 16-3 cushion when he entered in the seventh inning, so he didn't experience much pressure. Still, the veteran righty looked good on the mound, yielding just four singles over four scoreless frames. Rea lost out to Monday's starter Ben Brown for a season-opening spot in Chicago's rotation, and he doesn't figure to see many more save chances since he'll likely work mostly in middle and long relief.
