Adrian Sampson - Allows one run in spot start Sampson allowed one run across four innings and did not factor into the decision Wednesday against the Reds. He gave up five hits while striking out two. Impact Making his first MLB start since 2019, Sampson held his own and helped the Cubs secure the win, though he didn't last long enough for it to go on his ledger. The veteran righty was filling in for Adbert Alzolay (hamstring), who landed on the 10-day injured list Saturday. It's unclear if Sampson will be needed for another start, but he figures to be ready if called upon.
