Jameson Taillon - Halted by Guardians Taillon (8-7) took the loss against Cleveland on Wednesday, allowing four runs on five hits and two walks while striking out six batters over six innings.
Impact Taillon got through three scoreless frames before the Guardians touched him up for two runs in the fourth. Cleveland scored twice more in the fifth, and the Cubs' offense managed only one run in the contest to send Taillon to his seventh loss of the campaign. The right-hander had a nice run of successful outings between mid-June and late July, but over his past four starts he's given up at least four earned runs on three occasions to push his season ERA up to 3.62.

Seiya Suzuki - Triples, scores in loss Suzuki went 1-for-3 with a walk, a triple and a run scored in Wednesday's 6-1 loss to the Guardians.
Impact Suzuki tallied his fifth triple of the season in the fourth inning on a sharp line drive to center field. The 29-year-old has been displaying a bit more speed this year, as he's already recorded a career-high 10 stolen bases, and the five triples are one away from matching his career best. Suzuki also has 16 home runs and an .814 OPS, making him a well-rounded fantasy asset once again in 2024.

Colten Brewer - Completes live batting practice Brewer (hand) threw a live batting practice session Tuesday, Maddie Lee of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.
Impact It would appear to be the first time he's faced hitters since he suffered a fractured left hand in early July when he punched the dugout all. Brewer is on the 60-day injured list and not eligible to return until early September.

Jordan Wicks - Completes first rehab start Wicks (oblique) covered 1.2 innings and struck out two batters while giving up six earned runs on four hits and three walks in his first rehab outing Saturday with Triple-A Iowa.
Impact In his first game action since landing on the injured list in mid-June with a Grade 2 right oblique strain, Wicks looked rusty, but Cubs manager Craig Counsell said that the left-hander came out of the 43-pitch outing feeling healthy, per MLB.com reports. According to Brett Taylor of BleacherNation.com, Wicks' fastball velocity hovered around 91 miles per hour in the rehab outing, a couple ticks below his average for the season. The Cubs are hopeful that Wicks can gradually ramp up both his velocity and volume of pitches during his rehab assignment, which will most likely include at least two more starts. Wicks could still be on track to return from the 60-day IL before the end of August.

Nico Hoerner - Productive in loss Hoerner went 2-for-4 with a double and a run scored in Tuesday's 2-1 loss to the Guardians. He also stole two bases.
Impact Hoerner was a bright spot for Chicago amid a poor offensive performance, as the rest of the team combined for only three hits. The infielder also stole multiple bases in a game for the third time this season. Hoerner is now up to 22 stolen bases overall, and his ability to run is the main source of his fantasy value, as he doesn't offer much power.

Drew Smyly - Takes loss Tuesday Smyly (3-6) allowed a solo home run across 1.1 innings of relief to take the loss Tuesday against the Guardians. He struck out one.
Impact A blast by Jhonkensy Noel in the fifth inning was the only damage against Smyly, but it saddled him with the loss in Cleveland's 2-1 victory. Despite the 3-6 record, Smyly has been solid this season with a 2.83 ERA and 1.15 WHIP across 47.2 innings. All of that work has come out of the bullpen, which is a contrast from last year, when the veteran lefty made 23 starts for the Cubs.
