Hammel, who moves ahead of Roach in the rotation, took the loss in rainy St. Louis on Sunday, giving up 4 ER in 4 innings but striking out 7. He was strong in his win in Miami this year (6.2 IP, 1 ER, 11 Ks). The Marlins are 35-113 (.310) against him. The ball hawks on Sheffield and Waveland (and beyond) will miss Stanton.

Koehler beat the Dodgers at home in his last appearance (7 IP, 2 ER, 5 Ks, 0 BBs). He had a no decision (6 IP, 4 ER) against the Cubs in Miami last year. The Cubs are 7-48 (.146) against him. Castro is 2-7 with a HR. Rizzo is 0-5.

Injury report: Soler will be back at some point this weekend. In his 3 rehab games at Iowa, he is 1-10 with 4 Ks. That’s about right. Michael Morse is set to return from the DL for the Marlins (finger injury, back tightness), where he’s been since May 26.

Go Cubs!

Sahadev Sharma ‏@sahadevsharma For those who were wondering about Jacob Turner, he had surgery on his elbow & had a screw inserted. 4 month recovery, so his season is over

woah...cubs got rid of r.lopez. no big deal or loss of talent given the catching situation at the top of the system, but it means schwarb is going to see a lot more time at C with teagarden also in the mix.

i was trying to figure out what the hell dumpster and ricketts were doing standing around with Budweiser mugs with dumpster doing harry schtick rather than singing the song...then boom, to the video board. my favorite people to sing the 7th is anyone who doesn't have to be interviewed afterwards. i can live with it, but there's way too many 1/2+ innings where there might as well not be a game on the field while we hear about someone's new album/movie/tv/charity/etc...

“One of the things that we think would be really fun is to bring back a number of our departed historic figures, like Harry Caray, Ernie Banks, Ron Santo,” said Cubs president of business operations Crane Kenney. “We want to bring them back to the fans via the video board.” that's a decent enough compromise, imo.

dear russell, you are not a 3rd baseman. sincerely, crunch ps - really dude?

    morel triple to start the season....yeaaaaaaaaaaaaah

    LHP Blake Weiman appears to have been the last cut from the AAA Iowa roster. He is with the Tennessee group at Minor League Camp.

    bruce bochy is hobbling rather badly for a guy who's had 2 hip replacements.  his gait is extremely wonky taking the lineup card to the ump.

  • crunch (view)

    yeah, for me this isn't about who's better at 3rd.  it's madrigal, period.  for me it's about who's not hitting in the lineup because madrigal is in the lineup.

    occasional play at 3rd for madrigal, okay.  going with the steele/ground-ball matchup...meh, but okay, whatever.

    seeing madrigal get significant starting time...no thanks.

  • Dolorous Jon Lester (view)

    Yeah I am very disappointed Madrigal is starting. He has no business as a starter. He is AAA insurance, a back up at best. Sure his defense looks fine because he plays far enough in that his noodle arm isn’t totally exposed. It comes at the cost of 3B range.

    He’s garbage, and a team serious about winning would NOT have him starting opening day.

    in other news, it took 3 PA before a.rizzo got his 1st HBP of the season.

  • Eric S (view)

    With two home runs (so far) and 5 rbi today … clearly Nick Martini is the straw that stirs the Reds drink 😳

    madrigal at 3rd...morel at DH.

    making room for madrigal or/and masterboney to get a significant amount of ABs is a misuse of the roster.  if it needed to get taken care of this offseason, they had tons of time to figure that out.

    morel played almost exclusively at 3rd in winter ball and they had him almost exclusively there all spring when he wasn't DH'ing.

    madrigal doing a good job with the glove for a bit over 2 chances per game...is that worth more than what he brings with the bat 4-5 PA a game?  it's 2024 and we got glenn beckert 2.0 manning 3rd base.

    this is a tauchman or cooper DH situation based on bat, alone.  cooper is 3/7 with a double off eovaldi if you want to play the most successful matchup.

    anyway, i hope this is a temporary thing, not business as usual for the rest of the season.  it will be telling if morel is not used at 3rd when an extreme fly ball pitcher like imanaga is on the mound.

  • Arizona Phil (view)

    There are two clear "logjams" in the Cubs minor league pipeline at the present time, namely AA outfielders (K. Alcantara, C. Franklin, Roederer, Pagan, Pinango, Beesley, and Nwogu) and Hi-A infielders (J. Rojas, P. Ramirez, Howard, R. Morel, Pertuz, R. Garcia, and Spence, although Morel has been getting a lot of reps in the outfield in addition to infield). So it is possible that you might see a trade involving one of the extra outfielders at AA and/or one of the extra infielders at Hi-A in the next few days. 

  • Arizona Phil (view)

    18-year old SS Jefferson Rojas almost made the AA Tennessee Opening Day roster, and he is a legit shortstop, so I would expect him to be an MLB Top 100 prospect by mid-season.
