When it comes to Kyle Tucker, the biggest reason why the Chicago Cubs should be putting every effort into signing him to a long-term contract during the season is because if he hits free agency, the outcome that is most likely is one that fans have become all too familiar with. That is the Dodgers running circles around the Cubs when it comes to the pursuit of a mutual target. MLB insider Bob Nightengale offered this nugget information while empting his notebook for USA Today over the weekend.

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.

Dansby Swanson is red-hot after a lineup drop—and a ritual sparked by a new teammate. As the first full month of the Chicago Cubs' season wound down, there was one player who was concerning fans more than most. It appears that Dansby Swanson was concerning his manager too. Enough to bump him down in the batting order to No. 8 when the team kicked off a series against the Pirates. Since that move, Swanson has been on fire, and oddly enough, he credits Red Bull for being the magic bullet.

The Cubs just lost one of their best pitchers to injury, and now a top prospect could be in line for his major league debut very soon. In what has been an impressive season, Sundays continue to be a weird Achilles' heel for the Chicago Cubs. And this Sunday, it wasn’t just that Craig Counsell’s squad suffered a loss to his former team. The 4-0 loss was secondary to the loss of starting pitcher Shota Imanaga. Imanaga exited his latest outing in the sixth inning with a strained left hamstring injury.

As Chicago Cubs fans desperately wait for further news on Shota Imanaga's injury, there is another injury that they can lower their panic levels for. In the 9th inning of the Cubs' 4-0 loss to the Milwaukee Brewers on Sunday, outfielder Kyle Tucker was spotted at second base getting his knee looked at. After Tucker stole second base, he was visited by the Cubs' training staff as they looked at his knee. Tucker appeared to be fine and stayed in for the remainder of the game.
