The Diamondbacks have been a feisty opponent for the Cubs the past few years as both clubs have battled in the Wild Card standings since 2023.

Former Cy Young award winner Corbin Burnes surprised the baseball world this past offseason, when he signed a $210 million contract with the Diamondbacks.

The Cubs were trailing 3-1 heading into the fourth inning in their series-opening game against the Nationals Tuesday night, when Pete Crow-Armstrong did what he does best: create chaos on the bases. The left-handed hitter lined a ball to right field that would normally be a single for most players. PCA is not most players, but his speed that allowed him to slide safely into second base was only the start of him wreaking havoc.

Another day, another chance for Pete Crow-Armstrong to join elite company in MLB history. The Cubs center fielder continued to add to his historically good season on Tuesday night, when he stole two more bases that brought his total to 21 so far in 2025. PCA became only the second player since 1906 to hit at least 15 doubles, 15 home runs and steal at least 20 bases in their first 60 games. The only other player to accomplish that was Bobby Bonds back in 1973.

The Cubs beat the Nationals 8-3 in their series opener and Chicago might have to finish the series without one of their star players. Kyle Tucker was not in the starting lineup on Tuesday after he jammed his right ring finger during Sunday’s game against the Reds. Cubs manager Craig Counsell gave an update on Tucker before Tuesday night’s game and while he said there are no plans for a stint on the injured list Counsell did say Tucker could be out a few more days.

The Chicago Fire dropped a bombshell on Tuesday, announcing plans to construct a privately-funded stadium and entertainment district located along the Chicago River on the site known as, “The 78.” Another pro team in Chicago has also been interested in building a new stadium at the same location and following the initial news the Chicago Fire released a video, which pretty much trolled the White Sox. In 2024, the White Sox unveiled renderings for their proposed plan to build a new stadium.
