Cubs' Josh Fleming: Gets minor-league deal from Cubs
The Cubs signed Fleming to a minor-league contract Monday, Lance Brozdowski of the Marquee Sports Network reports.
Fleming made one relief appearance for the Blue Jays earlier this season and held a 3.08 ERA and 51:11 K:BB over 64.1 frames with Triple-A Buffalo. He was released Sunday after exercising an opt-out clause in his minor-league deal. The Cubs' pitching staff has been decimated by injuries, so Fleming could get an opportunity with the big club sooner rather than later.

Cubs' Edward Cabrera: Starts up throwing program
Cubs manager Craig Counsell said that Cabrera (hamstring) resumed a throwing program this weekend,
Cabrera is limited to playing catch, but after the Cubs came away encouraged by how his strained hamstring responded over the weekend, he could advance to throwing off a mound later this week before the team heads into the All-Star break. The right-hander probably won't be ready to return from the 15-day injured list immediately coming out of the break, but he'll have a shot at rejoining the Chicago rotation before the end of July if he steers clear of any setbacks with his hamstring while building back up.

Cubs' Pete Crow-Armstrong: Scores, swipes base in win
Crow-Armstrong went 2-for-4 with a stolen base and a run scored in Sunday's 6-4 win over the Cardinals.
After a scorching hot June, Crow-Armstrong is keeping things rolling in July. The star outfielder has started the month with hits in four straight games, and he's 6-for-12 overall in July with a home run, two stolen bases, three runs scored and three RBI. In June, Crow-Armstrong batted .381 with a 1.249 OPS, eight steals, 11 long balls, 20 RBI and 21 runs scored across 26 contests. The 24-year-old is headed toward his second straight All-Star Game appearance with a ton of momentum.

Cubs' Jacob Webb: Earns another save Sunday
Webb allowed a hit and a walk across two scoreless innings of relief to earn the save in Sunday's 6-4 win over the Cardinals. He struck out one.
Webb worked the eighth and ninth innings on 27 pitches to record his third save of the season. The righty has earned two of those saves in the last seven games, which corresponds roughly with when Daniel Palencia (elbow) hit the injured list. Webb should continue to be Chicago's top option for saves at the moment, but his fantasy value will take a hit sometime after the All-Star break when Palencia is able to return and slide back into the closer role.

Cubs' Javier Assad: Sidesteps danger in no-decision
Assad took a no-decision Sunday against the Cardinals, allowing no runs on two hits and two walks in 4.2 innings. He struck out two.
Assad kept the St. Louis bats in check Sunday, scattering two singles over 4.2 shutout innings, and he notably escaped a bases-loaded jam in the second frame. The 28-year-old right-hander has been much more impactful as a starter versus a reliever, posting a 3.65 ERA and 1.05 WHIP across 37 innings from the rotation as opposed to a 5.12 ERA and 1.19 WHIP over 19.1 frames out of the bullpen. It's unknown how Assad will next be deployed, as it's possible Jameson Taillon (hamstring) will be ready to take his next turn in the rotation.

Cubs' Michael Conforto: Sitting versus lefty
Conforto is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Cardinals.
Conforto started the previous three games and will take a seat Sunday after going 5-for-11 with two walks, two homers, four RBI and four runs during that span. The veteran outfielder should continue to see regular playing time against right-handed pitching through the All-Star break with Matt Shaw (hand) on the injured list, though Conforto is likely to continue sitting versus southpaws. Kevin Alcantara is starting as the designated hitter against St. Louis lefty Matthew Liberatore while Seiya Suzuki handles right field.

Cubs' Michael Conforto: Bigger role expected through break
With Matt Shaw (hand) out at least through the All-Star break, per Patrick Mooney of The Athletic, Conforto should continue to see an expanded role in right field.
Conforto has been the top option in right field against right-handed pitching with Shaw on the shelf, with Seiya Suzuki and Kevin Alcantara also mixing in. Suzuki also frequently serves as Chicago's DH, which was the alignment Saturday, when Conforto started in right and tallied two hits and and a walk from the seventh spot in the lineup. The veteran outfielder has a strong .837 OPS so far this season, and he should continue to be a useful fantasy performer when he's in the lineup.

Cubs' Shota Imanaga: Mixed bag in seventh loss
Imanaga (5-7) took the loss Saturday against the Cardinals, allowing two runs on four hits and three walks in 4.2 innings. He struck out eight.
Imanaga had plenty of swing-and-miss stuff going, fanning eight and generating 16 whiffs, but he was still inefficient with 86 pitches on the evening. Saturday disrupted a seven-start streak of at least five innings for the 32-year-old left-hander, who also tied a season high in walks. Imanaga is next lined up for a relatively tough assignment at hitter-friendly Great American Ball Park in Cincinnati, holding a 4.28 ERA, 1.10 WHIP and 100:26 K:BB over 103 innings.

Cubs' Bryse Wilson: Loses 40-man roster spot
The Cubs designated Wilson for assignment Saturday.
Wilson joined Chicago as a waiver claim June 24 and made two appearances for the team. In his first outing, he impressed with 4.1 scoreless innings, but the right-hander then got pounded for seven runs across 3.1 frames against St. Louis on Friday. He's now lost his spot in Chicago's bullpen (and on the team's 40-man roster) in favor of Jake Woodford, who was inked to a major-league contract Saturday.

Cubs' Jake Woodford: Gets opportunity with Cubs
The Cubs signed Woodford to a major-league contract Saturday.
Woodford spent the beginning part of the season with Milwaukee, posting a 6.94 ERA, 1.76 WHIP and 20:7 K:BB over 23.1 innings spanning 16 relief appearances before being DFA'd on June 5. Despite those meager numbers, the Cubs have given the veteran hurler a deal that will immediately place him in the big-league bullpen. Bryse Wilson was designated for assignment in a corresponding move.

Cubs' Matt Shaw: Out through All-Star break
Shaw (hand) won't be activated from the injured list until after the All-Star break, Patrick Mooney of The Athletic reports.
Shaw landed on the injured list June 29 due to a sprained left hand. The initial expectation was that the 24-year-old could return when first eligible July 9, but he's now slated to miss at least a bit more time than that. Seiya Suzuki, Michael Conforto and Kevin Alcantara have all gotten starts in right field since Shaw went down.

Cubs' David Peterson: Folds against Cards
Peterson (4-7) took the loss Friday as the Cubs were routed 17-1 by the Cardinals, surrendering 10 runs on nine hits and three walks over 3.2 innings. He struck out three.
After an effective debut for Chicago on June 27 in a win over Milwaukee, Peterson crashed back down to earth in a hurry. The 10 runs allowed were a career worst for the southpaw, who got chased after 91 pitches (58 strikes) as St. Louis put multiple runs on the board in five straight innings beginning in the second frame. The Cubs' injury woes in the rotation could force them to give Peterson another start, but with Jameson Taillon (hamstring) beginning a rehab assignment this weekend, Peterson likely can't afford another poor outing if he wants to keep his spot. Peterson will carry a 6.75 ERA, 1.67 WHIP and 68:33 K:BB through 77.1 innings split between the Cubs and Mets into his next trip to the mound, which is currently set to come on the road next week in Baltimore.

Cubs' Drew Pomeranz: Back in majors with Cubs
The Cubs selected Pomeranz's contract from Triple-A Iowa on Friday, Bruce Levine of 670TheScore.com reports.
Pomeranz was cut loose by the Angels in mid-June after turning in a 5.01 ERA and 16:12 K:BB across 23.1 innings. The veteran left-hander excelled with the Cubs in 2025, logging a 2.17 ERA and 57:15 K:BB over 49.2 innings, and he'll aim to rediscover that form after making two scoreless appearances for Iowa.

Cubs' Jordan Wicks: Dispatched to Iowa
The Cubs optioned Wicks to Triple-A Iowa on Thursday.
Wicks logged a save in each of his two appearances during this stint with the Cubs, though they were both unconventional, with one coming in extra innings and the other being of the three-inning variety in a blowout win. The Cubs will announced a corresponding roster move prior to Friday's game against the Cardinals.
