8/6 3:40 PM Justin Steele (P-CHC) Could The Fate Of The Chicago Cubs Season Lay At The Hands Of A Rookie Pitcher?. The Chicago Cubs are lucky that a rookie is coming through for them right now or their division race could be fully out of grasp. In mid-June, the Cubs were looking like they were pulling away with the division title as they were 6.5 games ahead of the Milwaukee Brewers, but now the story has flipped. With Justin Steele's season ending injury (UCL) and Jameson Taillon still on the injured list (calf strain) the ball club has been looking for a starting pitcher to compliment Matthew Boyd and Shota Imanaga. The organization looked for an arm at the trade deadline and found Michael Soroka from the Washington Nationals, who wasn't having the season that the rookie Cade Horton is.

8/6 3:00 PM Ben Brown (P-CHC) The (difficult) case for the Chicago Cubs continuing to rely on Ben Brown. The (difficult) case for the Chicago Cubs continuing to rely on Ben Brown It feels like, whether fans like it or not, the righty has a key role to play for this team. By Bill Felber | Share on Facebook Share on X Copy Article David Banks-Imagn Images Share on Facebook Share on X Share on Reddit Copy Article I shall now attempt a defense of Ben Brown. Degree of difficulty: 9.7. The name of Ben Brown is anathema among Chicago Cubs fans, and it's easy to see why. If Brown were having the kind of season he had as a rookie in 2024, the Cubs would right now be on far more solid footing in the NL Central race. His 6.04 ERA is nearly double his 3.58 ERA of one season back. He came out of spring training
