CHICAGO CUBS NEWS

Caleb Kilian - Takes loss in 2024 debut Kilian (0-1) took the loss Monday, allowing six runs (five earned) on eight hits and four walks over 5.2 innings against the Phillies. He struck out three.

Impact Kilian was called up earlier in the day, then tossed 5.2 innings in a bulk relief role. Kilian, making his first major league appearance of 2024 after having appeared in six contests over the previous two seasons, allowed 12 batters to reach base and six total runners to cross the plate. Kilian has now allowed 28 earned runs across 22.1 career big-league innings. At the very least, he'll be remembered in Philadelphia as the pitcher of record on the losing end when the Phillies clinched their first division pennant since 2011.

Mike Tauchman - Reaches three times in loss Tauchman went 1-for-3 with two walks and an RBI in Monday's 6-2 loss to the Phillies.

Impact With the Cubs eliminated from playoff contention and Ian Happ (back) out of the lineup for the second straight day, Tauchman got another chance to start. The veteran homered Sunday and posted another solid stat line Monday from the leadoff spot. Tauchman could have some short-term fantasy value in the final week of the regular season as Chicago deploys some different lineups, though he figures to revert to a reserve role in 2025, which will push him back off the radar in many formats.

Isaac Paredes - Doubles, scores in loss Paredes went 2-for-3 with a walk, a double and a run scored in Monday's 6-2 loss to the Phillies.

Impact Paredes snapped an 0-for-13 slump that stretched across his last five games with the two hits on Monday. The 25-year-old has shown flashes of promise since joining the Cubs via trade in late July, but his performance overall has been disappointing. In 47 games with Chicago, Paredes is batting just .216 with a .634 OPS. He had a .792 OPS in 101 games with Tampa Bay before the trade.

Luis Vázquez - Picking up rare start Vazquez will start at shortstop and bat ninth in Monday's game against the Phillies.

Impact With Dansby Swanson resting in the series opener, Vazquez will pick up his second start in three games but just his second overall since being recalled from Triple-A Iowa on Aug. 23. Vazquez has logged just eight plate appearances between two stints with the Cubs on the season and is still looking for his first MLB hit.

Miguel Amaya - Sitting out Monday Amaya is not in the lineup for Monday's contest in Philadelphia.

Impact Amaya homered in Sunday's win over the Nationals but will receive a day of rest for Monday's series opener against the Phillies. Christian Bethancourt will catch and bat eighth for the Cubs.

SEPTEMBER 23 • ROTOWIRE

Dansby Swanson - Getting rare day off Swanson is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Phillies.

Impact Swanson looks to be receiving some routine maintenance after he had been in the lineup for every game dating back to June 14, a stretch of 87 consecutive starts. Unless he's used off the bench, Swanson will put a five-game hitting streak on hold before likely returning to the starting nine Tuesday. Luis Vazquez will fill in for Swanson at shortstop on Monday.

Ian Happ - Out again with back tightness Happ (back) remains out of the lineup for Monday's game in Philadelphia.

Impact Happ had to be scratched from Sunday's lineup versus the Nationals because of lower-back tightness and will miss a second straight start Monday. He is considered day-to-day. Mike Tauchman will play left field and bat leadoff in Happ's stead.

Enoli Paredes - Claimed off waivers by Cubs The Cubs claimed Paredes off waivers from the Brewers on Monday, Sahadev Sharma of The Athletic reports.

Impact Paredes will remain in the division after the Brewers booted him from their 40-man roster following a 1.74 ERA and 14:10 K:BB over 20.2 innings. The 28-year-old does not have any minor-league options remaining, so he will go on the Cubs' active roster.

SEPTEMBER 23 • ROTOWIRE

Gavin Hollowell - Joins big-league bullpen The Cubs recalled Hollowell from Triple-A Iowa on Monday, Sahadev Sharma of The Athletic reports.

Impact Hollowell was claimed off waivers in August but this will be his first stint in the majors with the Cubs. The 26-year-old holds a 4.94 ERA and 45:21 K:BB across 31 innings this season at the Triple-A level.

SEPTEMBER 23 • ROTOWIRE

Trey Wingenter - Sent to Triple-A The Cubs optioned Wingenter to Triple-A Iowa on Monday, Sahadev Sharma of The Athletic reports.

Impact Wingenter has made five relief appearances for the Cubs this season, allowing two runs with a 3:2 K:BB over six frames. He had pitched both of the last two days, so the Cubs are replacing him with a fresh arm in Gavin Hollowell, who was recalled from Triple-A in a corresponding move.

Caleb Kilian - Receives promotion The Cubs recalled Kilian from Triple-A Iowa on Monday, Maddie Lee of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.

Impact Right-hander Nate Pearson is serving as the Cubs' opening pitcher for Monday's game in Philadelphia, but he's likely to cover only an inning or two before turning the contest over to the bullpen. Kilian will be available out of the bullpen and may end up taking on a bulk-relief role for the Cubs, as his final start with Iowa came six days earlier. Kilian made three appearances (one start) for the Cubs in 2023 but has pitched exclusively in the minors in 2024, turning in a 3.22 ERA, 1.15 WHIP and 38:14 K:BB over 44.2 innings with Iowa.

SEPTEMBER 23 • ROTOWIRE

Jorge López - Goes back on IL The Cubs placed Lopez on the 15-day injured list Monday with a right groin strain, Sahadev Sharma of The Athletic reports.

Impact It's the same injury he just returned from last week, so evidently Lopez must have suffered a setback. The injury ends what was a nice bounce-back season for Lopez, who collected a 2.89 ERA and 50:19 K:BB over 53 innings covering 52 appearances for the Mets and Cubs. He'll be a free agent this offseason.
