Justin Steele - Now starting SundaySteele will start Sunday's game against the Dodgers, Andy Martinez of Marquee Sports Network reports.

ImpactThe 26-year-old was originally scheduled to start Saturday before having his outing pushed to Monday, but he'll now take the mound Sunday after Marcus Stroman (undisclosed) was a late addition to the injured list. Steele has struggled through his first five starts of 2022 with a 5.50 ERA, 1.89 WHIP and 16:1 K:BB over 18 innings.

Marcus Stroman - Lands on injured listStroman (undisclosed) was placed on the injured list Sunday, Andy Martinez of Marquee Sports Network reports.

ImpactThe move doesn't include an injury designation, which likely means Stroman's absence is related to COVID-19. Assuming that's the case, the 31-year-old can be activated as soon as he clears the MLB's testing protocols. He was scheduled to start Sunday against the Dodgers, but Justin Steele will instead take the mound for the Cubs.

ImpactBruihl made the Dodgers' Opening Day roster and has a 3.38 ERA, 0.75 WHIP and 6:1 K:BB across eight innings, but he hasn't pitched in a week and will now head to Oklahoma City. Robbie Erlin, who served as the 27th man for Saturday's doubleheader, won't return to the minors and will instead remain with the big-league club.

Nico Hoerner - Three hits in Saturday's twin billHoerner went 3-for-7 with a double across both games of Saturday's doubleheader against the Dodgers.

ImpactThe Cubs only managed to score two runs in total while getting swept in the twin bill, so Hoerner's efforts didn't result in any real offense. The 24-year-old infielder did extend his current hitting streak to five games, and he's putting together a solid season in general, slashing .289/.314/.434 with two homers, two steals and 11 RBI -- but only five runs in 25 games as he consistently hits toward the bottom of the order for one of the weaker offenses in baseball.

Mookie Betts - Socks fifth homerBetts went 2-for-5 with a double, a home run and five RBI in a 6-2 win over the Cubs in the second game of Saturday's doubleheader.

ImpactAfter going 1-for-4 with a walk and a run scored in the matinee, Betts carried the Dodgers' offense in the nightcap, rapping a bases-loaded double in the second inning to break open a 1-1 tie and then launching a two-run shot off Cubs closer David Robertson in the ninth. All five of Betts' homers on the season have come in the last 13 games, a stretch during which he's slashing .327/.414/.653 with two steals, 10 RBI and 17 runs.

Tyler Anderson - Fans seven in win over CubsAnderson (3-0) picked up the win in the second game of Saturday's doubleheader against the Cubs, allowing two runs on four hits and a walk over five innings. He struck out seven.

ImpactThe veteran southpaw helped the Dodgers complete a sweep of the twin bill with arguably his best performance of the season so far, as Anderson tossed 56 of 80 pitches for strikes and struck out more than four batters for the first time in 2022. He'll take a 2.78 ERA, 0.97 WHIP and 22:5 K:BB through 22.2 innings into his next start.
