Kyle Tucker - Finger still not 100 percent Cubs manager Craig Counsell acknowledged Sunday that Tucker's sprained right ring finger still isn't 100 percent, Patrick Mooney of The Athletic reports.
Impact Counsell noted that Tucker's finger injury is "not bad," but between rest Sunday and a team off day Monday, the skipper saw an opportunity to give Tucker "two days without swinging a bat." Tucker suffered the finger sprain back on June 1, and he's slashing a good-not-great .244/.380/.415 with only one home run in 13 games so far this month. The 28-year-old will be back in the lineup Tuesday as the Cubs host the Brewers.

Colin Rea - Performs well in no-decision Rea didn't factor into the decision during Sunday's extra-inning win over the Pirates, allowing two runs on four hits and one walk over six innings. He struck out four.
Impact All of the runs against Rea came in the first inning, when he allowed singles to three of his first four batters faced. However, the 34-year-old rebounded with five scoreless frames to notch his third quality start of the campaign and complete six innings for the first time since May 12. Rea has allowed four or more runs in three of his last five appearances and has yielded a home run in seven of his last nine. On the year, he has a 3.84 ERA and a 52:18 K:BB across 68 innings. He's on track to face the Mariners next time out.

Miguel Amaya - Starts up throwing program Amaya (oblique) was cleared to begin a throwing program Friday, MLB.com reports.
Impact Amaya looks to be in the process of ramping back up again after a left oblique strain had kept him from throwing since May 24. The Cubs anticipate that Amaya will be able to return from the injured list prior to the All-Star break, though an exact target date may not come into focus until he heads out on a minor-league rehab assignment.

Drew Pomeranz - Tending to back issue Pomeranz is scheduled to be re-evaluated Tuesday after he experienced back tightness following his relief appearance in Saturday's 2-1 win over the Pirates, MLB.com reports.
Impact Despite having his back flare up on him, Pomeranz turned in a scoreless inning en route to collecting his fourth hold of the season. After having not pitched in the majors since 2021, Pomeranz has quickly worked his way up the bullpen pecking order since getting a call-up from Triple-A Iowa in late April. The veteran southpaw has yet to allow an earned run and owns a 0.65 WHIP over 18.1 innings out of the Chicago bullpen this season, making his status worth tracking as the Cubs kick off a three-game series versus the Brewers on Tuesday.

Ian Happ - Strong performance in win Happ went 1-for-4 with a walk, an RBI and a run scored in Sunday's 3-2, 10-inning win over the Pirates. He also stole a base.
Impact Happ did a little bit of everything from the leadoff spot to help lead the Cubs to another victory. The veteran now has four stolen bases this season in five attempts, so he'll have to get going to reach last year's total of 13 steals. Despite running a bit less, Happ remains a solid fantasy commodity due to his position atop a strong Chicago lineup and his well-rounded stat lines.

Shota Imanaga - One more rehab start on tap Imanaga (hamstring) will throw a bullpen session early this week before making the third start of his rehab assignment at Triple-A Iowa on Friday, Taylor McGregor of Marquee Sports...
Impact Assuming he can make it out of Friday's outing without issue, Imanaga should be cleared to return from the 15-day injured list to make his next start with the Cubs either on June 25 or 26 in St. Louis. The right-hander made both of his first two rehab starts in the rookie-level Arizona Complex League, most recently pitching Saturday and striking out four over four shutout innings. According to Andy Martinez of Marquee Sports Network, Imanaga threw 44 pitches in that start and tossed 11 more in the bullpen immediately after exiting the game, so he'll presumably be looking to push his pitch count up into the 60-to-75 range Friday.

Michael Busch - Doubles, scores in win Busch went 2-for-4 with a double and a run scored in Sunday's 3-2, 10-inning win over the Pirates.
Impact Busch continued his steady, impressive season, as he's now batting .295 this month and .265 for the year. The infielder also has a solid .861 OPS, and he's been a mainstay near the middle of Chicago's lineup. Busch remains vulnerable against left-handed pitching, but he has plenty of fantasy value as a dangerous run producer against righties.

Chris Flexen - Improves to 4-0 Flexen (4-0) tossed a scoreless inning of relief to earn the win in Sunday's 3-2, 10-inning win over the Pirates.
Impact Flexen worked the top of the 10th inning and kept Pittsburgh off the board despite having to deal with the automatic runner on second base. He then earned his fourth win of the year when the Cubs scored the winning run in the bottom half of the frame. Flexen extended his scoreless streak to 11 appearances and 18.1 innings to begin the season, as he's been a revelation in long relief for the Cubs. His role limits his fantasy impact, though Flexen has some appeal in deeper formats due to his sparkling ERA and WHIP, as well as his 4-0 record.
