Cubs' Dominick Reid: Back from IL
Reid (shoulder) was activated from the 60-day injured list Sept. 15.
Reid missed most of the last few months of the 2026 season after suffering a shoulder impingement, but he managed to toss four scoreless frames against High-A Cedar Rapids on Sept. 5, striking out four along the way. He's also expected to play in the Arizona Fall League, signaling that he's made a full recovery.

Cubs' Matthew Boyd: Will start Game 1
Boyd has been named the starting pitcher for Tuesday's Game 1 of the National League Wild Card Series against the Padres, Patrick Mooney of The Athletic reports.
This was the expected move from the Cubs, who last deployed Boyd against Miami on Thursday, allowing him to line up for the start in Game 1 of the wild-card round. The southpaw pitched well in his last six outings of the regular season, posting a 3.28 ERA and 1.12 WHIP with 25 strikeouts over 35.2 innings.

Cubs' Justin Steele: Tosses BP session Monday
Steele (elbow) threw a bullpen session off the mound at Petco Park on Monday, John Fanta of NBC Sports reports.
It remains to be seen if Steele, who has spent the season recovering from UCL revision surgery and a flexor strain, will be added to the roster for Chicago's wild-card series against the Padres. If he is added to the roster prior to Tuesday's Game 1, he would presumably be deployed out of the bullpen.

Cubs' Colin Rea: Secures two-inning save Sunday
Rea tossed two scoreless innings of relief with a strikeout to earn the save in Sunday's 6-2 win over the Red Sox.
Rea was the fourth Chicago pitcher to enter the ballgame, following Shota Imanaga, Braxton Garrett and Jacob Webb, and he shut the door over the final two innings to secure his second save of the year. The veteran righty finishes the regular season with a 4.34 ERA across 137 innings in 34 games, which included 19 starts. Rea will likely have a low-leverage relief role for the Cubs in the postseason, though he can give the team some length out of the bullpen if needed.

Cubs' Tyrone Taylor: Scores twice in finale
Taylor went 2-for-4 with two runs scored in Sunday's 6-2 win over the Red Sox.
Taylor didn't start this contest, but he pinch ran for presumptive National League MVP Pete Crow-Armstrong in the first inning and proceeded to come across twice for the Cubs. The 32-year-old outfielder fit in well with Chicago, posting a .351/.390/.500 slash line across 74 at-bats in 30 games with the team since coming over at the trade deadline. Taylor gives the Cubs a reliable veteran presence on the bench heading into the postseason, and his defensive prowess could get him off the pine frequently late in close contests.

Cubs' Braxton Garrett: Earns win in bulk relief
Garrett (1-1) earned the win over the Red Sox on Sunday, allowing one run on four hits and three walks with two strikeouts over five innings.
Garrett entered in the second inning and limited the Red Sox to one run despite throwing just 39 of 70 pitches for strikes. It was the 29-year-old's first major-league outing since May 19 with the Marlins, and he'll finish the regular season with a 7.71 ERA across just 9.1 innings. It's unclear if he will have a role with the Cubs in the postseason.

Cubs' Alex Bregman: Monster performance in finale
Bregman went 4-for-4 with two home runs, a double, a walk, four RBI and three runs scored in Sunday's 6-2 win over the Red Sox.
Bregman was perfect at the plate, going deep in the first and third innings for his third multi-homer game of the second half. After struggling out of the gate, the veteran third baseman posted a 1.010 OPS with 19 home runs and 52 RBI over 61 games since the All-Star break. Overall, he slashed .265/.355/.464 with 28 long balls, 93 RBI, 92 runs scored and three steals across 702 plate appearances and will look to stay hot as the Cubs enter the postseason.

Cubs' Gavin Hollowell: Sent down to minors
The Cubs optioned Hollowell to the Arizona Complex League on Sunday.
The move corresponds with Braxton Garrett being recalled from Triple-A Iowa. Hollowell was reinstated from the 15-day injured list Friday and recorded one out while issuing one walk against the Red Sox on the same day. He has a 2.45 ERA and 1.36 WHIP across 14.2 innings this season.

Cubs' Braxton Garrett: Recalled for Sunday's regular-season finale
The Cubs recalled Garrett from Triple-A Iowa on Sunday.
The Cubs are locked into their playoff spot, so Garrett will be called up to serve in a long-relief role, with Shota Imanaga expected to work an abbreviated start for Sunday's regular-season finale. Garrett has started in two games for the Cubs this season, allowing seven runs on seven hits and eight walks while striking out five across 4.1 innings.

Cubs' Julian Aguiar: Claimed by Cubs
The Cubs claimed Aguiar off waivers from the Reds on Saturday, C. Trent Rosecrans of The Athletic reports.
Aguiar was pushed off the Reds' 40-man roster after giving up two earned runs in three innings with Cincinnati and posting a 6.27 ERA at Triple-A, but he'll reclaim a roster spot upon joining his new organization. The 25-year-old won't be eligible to pitch for Chicago in the postseason, but he could be recalled to help preserve the team's bullpen during the final weekend of the regular season.
