There is almost no chance that latter feat will be repeated this month, but there were some standout performances in the Chicago Cubs' farm system by an...9502Tue, 02 Jun 2026 16:07:01 +0000https://diamondcentric.net/news-rumors/north-side-baseball/by-starting-jordan-wicks-cubs-keep-losing-games-on-purpose-r9496/Sunday, May 31. The Cubs faithful sit in front of the screen, tuning in to NBC or Peacock, looking forward to a rivalry tilt against the Cardinals. High off of Pete Crow-Armstrong's epic Saturday night, momentum is there to be seized. All optimism was destroyed after looking at the starting...9496Tue, 02 Jun 2026 14:07:00 +0000https://diamondcentric.net/news-rumors/north-side-baseball/chicago-cubs-pitchers-of-the-month-may-2026-r9491/Believe it or not, there were some bright spots in what was a really ugly month of May for the Chicago Cubs. A 13-16 record yielded a lot of questions about the offense, and it was that offensive underperformance that perhaps allowed the pitching to slip under the radar a little bit. To be clear...9491Tue, 02 Jun 2026 11:54:01 +0000https://diamondcentric.net/news-rumors/north-side-baseball/chicago-cubs-hitters-of-the-month-may-2026-r9476/May was an interesting month for the Chicago Cubs, and ultimately a futile one.

The lineup, of course, was a huge part of this, and many notable players struggled. Still, the...9476Mon, 01 Jun 2026 22:04:01 +0000https://diamondcentric.net/news-rumors/north-side-baseball/chicago-cubs-minor-league-report-boyd-makes-rehab-appearance-at-iowa-rojas-smokies-stay-hot-with-10th-win-in-last-12-r9461/Chicago Cubs Minor League Report - May 31 Affiliate Overview Triple-A Iowa Cubs Series at Indianapolis Indians (Pittsburgh Pirates): Tied, 3-3 Season Record: 24–32 Double-A Knoxville Smokies Series at Chattanooga Lookouts (Cincinnati Reds): Smokies win, 4-2 Season Record:...9461Mon, 01 Jun 2026 15:14:02 +0000https://diamondcentric.net/news-rumors/north-side-baseball/cubs-week-in-review-when-will-it-get-better-r9453/Since securing their last series win against the Reds on May 6, the Cubs are 7-15. They're standing naked in the cold spotlight right now, and some of those laughing in the dark are their fiercest rivals.

The veteran lefty is on the rehab trail, and threw 63 pitches in four innings in a rehab start for Triple-A Iowa Sunday afternoon.
