Yan Gomes - Goes deep ThursdayGomes went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Thursday's loss to the Brewers.

ImpactGomes hit his eighth home run of the season in the eighth inning, which tied the game at 5-5. It was the catcher's first long ball since June 4 as he's slowed down a bit after a hot start. The veteran has still been good overall with a .732 OPS for the season, which is more than 100 points higher than his OPS from a year ago. He also matched his 2022 home run total with his Thursday blast.

Cody Bellinger - Posts big line ThursdayBellinger went 4-for-4 with a double, a home run, two runs scored and three RBI in Thursday's loss to the Brewers.

ImpactBellinger recorded his first four-hit game of the year, though he did have a five-hit effort back on April 17. He's been making consistent contact since returning from the injured list in mid-June, but this was his first home run in that span, giving him eight long balls for the season. Bellinger has been solid for the Cubs in his first season with the club, posting an .838 OPS across 55 games.

Marcus Stroman - Won't pitch in All-Star GameStroman said he will not pitch in Tuesday's All-Star Game, electing instead to rest up for the second half, Jordan Bastian of MLB.com reports.

ImpactStroman made the announcement after his final start before the break Thursday, in which he allowed four runs over five innings and settled for a no-decision against the Brewers. "I'm definitely looking forward to having a little bit of a break," he said. "Kind of just reset my energy, clear my mind and have a good second half." Stroman has been solid so far with a 2.96 ERA across 112.2 innings. However, the righty only logged 138.2 innings last year as he dealt with a shoulder issue, so the extended absence makes sense as he aims to blow past that mark in 2023.
