Cubs' Dansby Swanson: Slugs ninth homer
Swanson went 2-for-4 with a two-run homer in Monday's 5-2 win against the Marlins.
The Chicago shortstop opened the game's scoring when he popped a 400-foot, two-run homer off Miami starter Cal Quantrill in the fifth. Swanson has been scorching hot lately, batting .422 (19-for-45) with five homers, 12 runs scored and nine RBI across his last 13 games. Overall, the 31-year-old is slashing .248/.303/.472 with 29 runs scored, 24 RBI and four steals over 176 plate appearances.

Cubs' Drew Pomeranz: Secures first save Monday
Pomeranz collected the save in Monday's 5-2 victory over the Marlins, allowing one hit and no walks over a scoreless inning with two strikeouts.
The veteran southpaw collected his first save since Aug. 11, 2020 against the Dodgers when he was on the Padres. Pomeranz could enter the saves discussion in Chicago since Porter Hodge unraveled in a high leverage during Sunday's loss to the Mets and Ryan Pressly has struggled to a 7.07 ERA across 14 innings. Pomeranz has been steady since debuting with the Cubs on April 25, firing 7.2 scoreless innings with a 0.52 WHIP and 8:2 K:BB.

Cubs' Colin Rea: Notches second quality start
Rea (3-0) earned the win Monday versus the Marlins, conceding two runs on six hits and two walks over 6.2 innings. He struck out four.
The veteran right-hander looked sharp against a weak Miami lineup, tossing 57 strikes out of 98 total pitches. The only blemish on Rea's outing came in the seventh inning when Derek Hill popped a two-run homer to chase the Chicago starter from the game. Rea now owns a 2.48 ERA, 1.29 WHIP and 29:9 K:BB across 36.1 innings. His solid performance should continue to keep him in the rotation, with his next turn currently slated to be against the White Sox at home this weekend.

Cubs' Miguel Amaya: Enters lineup Monday
Amaya is starting at catcher and batting eighth in Monday's game against the Marlins.
The Cubs are mixing things up a bit with Ian Happ (oblique) out for the third straight day, as regular DH Seiya Suzuki is covering Happ's spot in the outfield. Carson Kelly is sliding in as the DH on Monday, which opens up a start behind the plate for Amaya. While he hasn't been able to match Kelly's scintillating 1.151 OPS, Amaya has been a reliable offensive performer with a .741 OPS, three home runs and 18 RBI across 21 games.

Cubs' Carson Kelly: Serving as DH Monday
Kelly is serving as the designated hitter and batting fifth in Monday's game against the Marlins.
With Ian Happ (oblique) out for the third straight game, the Cubs have shifted Seiya Suzuki into the outfield, which has opened up the DH role. Justin Turner filled in the last two days, but it will be Kelly on Monday, with Miguel Amaya getting the nod behind the plate. Kelly has been scorching hot to begin the year with a 1.151 OPS across 24 games.

Cubs' Ian Happ: Not ready to rejoin lineup
Happ (oblique) remains out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Marlins.
Happ will hit the bench for a third straight game while he contends with oblique discomfort, but at this stage, the Cubs are characterizing his injury as a day-to-day concern and don't believe he'll require a stint on the injured list. Per MLB.com, Happ was able to take some swings in the batting cage Sunday, so he could be available as a pinch hitter off the bench in Monday's series opener.

Cubs' Gavin Hollowell: Moved to Triple-A
The Cubs optioned Hollowell to Triple-A Iowa on Monday.
He'll cede his spot on the 26-man active roster and in the bullpen to left-hander Caleb Thielbar (personal), who was reinstated from the paternity list. Hollowell has fared well over his five appearances for the Cubs between his two separate stints in the big leagues this season, giving up just one earned run and striking out five batters across 6.1 innings.

Cubs' Caleb Thielbar: Returns from paternity leave
The Cubs reinstated Thielbar (personal) from the paternity list Monday, Jared Wyllys of AllCHGO.com reports.
Thielbar was away from the Cubs for the maximum three games while he welcomed a new addition to his family. Chicago optioned righty Gavin Hollowell to Triple-A Iowa to clear a spot on the 26-man active roster and in the bullpen for Thielbar.

Cubs' Porter Hodge: Sustains first loss Sunday
Hodge (2-1) allowed three runs on three hits while retiring just one batter to take the loss Sunday against the Mets.
A day after converting his second save of the season, Hodge struggled to replicate the positive results. The righty saw things crumble in the eighth inning with the score tied 2-2, and his ERA climbed from 4.24 to 5.71 in the process. Hodge was potentially gaining on Ryan Pressly as Chicago's preferred closing option, though this might set the former back to some degree. With Pressly's ERA sitting at 7.07, neither pitcher is inspiring much confidence from fantasy managers at the moment.

Cubs' Pete Crow-Armstrong: Cracks 10th homer
Crow-Armstrong went 1-for-4 with a solo homer in Sunday's 6-2 loss to the Mets.
The Chicago center fielder tied the game at 1-1 when he slugged a 376-foot homer to right off Mets starter Griffin Canning. Crow-Armstrong took only 41 games and 171 plate appearances to match his 2024 home run total, which required 123 games and 410 plate appearances. The 23-year-old batted leadoff for the second consecutive game as Ian Happ (oblique) nurses his way back to health. Crow-Armstrong is now slashing .264/.304/.535 with 31 runs scored and 28 RBI while going 13-for-16 on steal attempts.

Cubs' Matthew Boyd: Punches out season-high eight
Boyd did not factor into the decision in Sunday's 6-2 loss to the Mets, allowing two runs on six hits and no walks over six innings. He struck out eight.
The veteran southpaw generated a solid 16 whiffs in this 92-pitch performance to notch his fifth quality start. Boyd limited the Mets to just two extra-base hits, both of which produced runs -- a Luis Torrens triple in the second and a Mark Vientos solo homer in the sixth. The 34-year-old Boyd has been a dependable arm in his first season with the Cubs, pitching to a 2.78 ERA, 1.30 WHIP and 45:13 K:BB across 45.1 innings. His next start is scheduled to be against the White Sox at home next weekend.

Cubs' Ian Happ: Could play Monday
Happ (oblique) played catch and took swings prior to Sunday's game and could return to the lineup as soon as Monday against the Marlins, Taylor McGregor of Marquee Sports Network reports.
Happ is on the bench Sunday for the second day in a row due to oblique discomfort, but his ability to take part in on-field work suggests his injury is minor. He'll be re-evaluated when the Cubs return home Monday before a decision is made on his availability.

Cubs' Justin Turner: Serving as DH again Sunday
Turner is serving as the designated hitter and batting eighth in Sunday's game against the Mets.
Turner is serving as Chicago's DH for the second straight game, as Seiya Suzuki handles left field in the absence of Ian Happ (oblique). Turner has yet to really get going this season, slashing just .161/.269/.161 across 23 games. The veteran is also still looking for his first home run in a Cubs uniform.

Cubs' Ian Happ: Out again Sunday
Happ (oblique) is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Mets.
Happ will miss a second straight start due to oblique discomfort, which he experienced during a swing in his first at-bat Friday. The Cubs are viewing Happ as day-to-day and have been labeling his absence as precautionary, but it's unclear if he'll be available for the start of the team's three-game series with the Marlins that begins Monday. Pete Crow-Armstrong will get another look out of the leadoff spot Sunday.

Cubs' Brad Keller: Tosses scoreless frame as opener
Keller started Saturday's 6-5 win over the Mets and tossed a scoreless inning with two strikeouts before exiting.
The veteran righty served as an effective opener before turning things over to Cade Horton, who logged four innings in his MLB debut to snag the win. Keller has pitched well lately, as he hasn't allowed an earned run over his last seven appearances, but he's maxed out at two innings in his longest outing. The former starter looks to be locked into a more traditional bullpen role in Chicago, but he seems to be thriving.

Cubs' Seiya Suzuki: Scores, drives in run Saturday
Suzuki went 2-for-5 with a double, an RBI and a run scored in Saturday's 6-5 win over the Mets.
Suzuki had been scuffling a bit before the two-hit effort, going 0-for-13 with four strikeouts over his previous three games. The veteran outfielder usually doesn't slump for too long, however, as he batted .283 or better each of the last two seasons. Suzuki is batting .250 at the moment, and he will likely push that figure up over the summer based on his MLB track record.

Cubs' Michael Busch: Stays locked in Saturday
Busch went 2-for-3 with a walk, an RBI and a run scored in Saturday's 6-5 win over the Mets.
A day after going deep as part of a two-hit game, Busch delivered another two-hit performance. The first baseman started May by going just 3-for-22 through the first seven games of the month, but he's potentially getting things going following the consecutive strong efforts. For the season, Busch has delivered an impressive .875 OPS, which would be a new career high.
