These two established veterans could join the relief mix in Chicago before the month is up. The Chicago Cubs' bullpen is starting to look more stable in the second month of the 2025 season. Brad Keller, Porter Hodge, Julian Merryweather and Daniel Palencia have been steady contributors in recent weeks. However, closer Ryan Pressly's blowup against the San Francisco Giants has everyone second-guessing his ability to handle the ninth inning.

Although the Chicago Cubs placed starting pitcher Shota Imanaga on the 15-day injured list, it sounds like the ace will not have to miss an extended amount of time. After Monday's victory over the San Francisco Giants, Cubs Manager Craig Counsell told the media that Imanaga was diagnosed with a mild hamstring strain and that should only sideline him for around three weeks. It's the news the Cubs were hoping for, because a grade-2 strain would have come with a recovery time of up to two months.

But the Milwaukee ball club simply looked outgunned against Chicago in the first two games.
