Cubs' Trent Thornton: Lands on injured list
The Cubs placed Thornton on the 15-day injured list Saturday with left ankle soreness, Patrick Mooney of The Athletic reports.
Thornton has been one of the more reliable members of a shaky Cubs bullpen this season, but his move to the IL will prevent him from pitching in a game until the final day of the regular season. Edward Cabrera (finger) was reinstated from the injured list in a corresponding move and will join Chicago's bullpen to fill the void left by Thornton.

Cubs' Edward Cabrera: Activated from IL
The Cubs reinstated Cabrera (finger) from the injured list Saturday, Patrick Mooney of The Athletic reports.
Cabrera has made just one appearance in the majors since the All-Star break due to issues with his left hamstring and, more recently, a blister on his right middle finger. Now fully healthy, the 28-year-old will return to the active roster but move into the bullpen after posting a 5.68 ERA and 1.45 WHIP across 76 innings as a starter. His struggles continued into his rehab assignment (six earned runs allowed in 3.2 innings), so he will likely be limited to low-leverage work to begin with. Trent Thornton (ankle) was placed on the 15-day injured list in a corresponding move.

Cubs' Shota Imanaga: Notches win No. 10
Imanaga (10-10) picked up the win in Friday's 12-2 rout over the Pirates, allowing two runs on five hits and two walks in six innings. He struck out four.
The southpaw delivered his 13th quality start of the season on 100 pitches (60 strikes). Imanaga has put together an effective second half, and over 10 starts since the All-Star break he's produced a 5-2 record with a 3.31 ERA, 1.12 WHIP and 51:10 K:BB through 54.1 innings. He'll look to keep rolling in his net outing, which lines up to come at home next week against Atlanta.

Cubs' Alex Bregman: Tallies three hits, 25th home run
Bregman went 3-for-4 with a double, a two-run home run and an additional run scored in Friday's 12-2 win over the Pirates.
After a scorching-hot August in which he recorded 12 home runs and a 1.025 OPS, Bregman has kept things rolling in September with a 1.039 OPS and two long balls across 10 games. The veteran third baseman is now up to 25 home runs overall, and a hot finish to the season could give him his third 30-homer campaign of his career. Bregman has put a slow start to the year behind him and has emerged as an offensive force for the Cubs down the stretch.

Cubs' Seiya Suzuki: Powers offense Friday
Suzuki went 3-for-5 with a triple, an RBI and three runs scored in Friday's 12-2 win over the Pirates.
Suzuki and Alex Bregman combined for six of Chicago's 16 hits to lead the team to a comfortable victory. The slugging outfielder came into the contest mired in a bit of a slump. as he started September going just 3-for-30 across his first nine games. Suzuki quickly doubled that hit total Friday, and he should remain an offensive engine for the Cubs as they head toward the postseason.

Cubs' Dansby Swanson: One week away from activation
Cubs manager Craig Counsell said Friday that the team plans to activate Swanson (oblique) from the 10-day injured list prior to its Sept. 18-20 series in Cincinnati, Patrick Mooney of The Athletic reports.
He will have to get through a brief rehab assignment at Triple-A Iowa first, but as long as Swanson doesn't encounter any setbacks he will be available for the Cubs' final nine games of the regular season. Swanson has been sidelined since mid-August with a Grade 2 left oblique strain.

Cubs' Kevin Gausman: Tagged for three homers in loss
Gausman (9-12) allowed seven runs (six earned) on eight hits and two walks while striking out six over four innings to take the loss versus the Brewers on Wednesday.
Gausman wasn't able to match his performance from last week against Milwaukee, when he surrendered just one run over seven frames. He was tagged for a trio of home runs over the first two innings Wednesday, accounting for six of the seven runs on his line. This was the third time in seven starts with the Cubs that Gausman has failed to complete five frames, and he's been charged with five or more runs three times in that span as well. Overall, he has a 4.60 ERA, 1.29 WHIP and 171:46 K:BB through 166.1 innings over 30 starts between the Cubs and the Blue Jays. The right-hander's next projected start is another tough one at home versus Atlanta next week.

Cubs' Jacob Webb: Blows another save
Webb blew the save Tuesday against the Brewers, giving up two runs on two hits and no walks while striking out one over one inning.
The right-hander was in great shape to pick up his 10th save of the season after retiring the first two batters of the ninth on seven pitches, but Christian Yelich singled and Jackson Chourio homered with two outs to erase the two-run advantage. Webb has now blown his last three save chances and has surrendered multiple runs in four of his past six appearances. He's gone 9-for-16 in save opportunities this season, and the recent struggles likely don't leave him with much stability as Chicago's closer.

Cubs' David Peterson: Allows one run in no-decision
Peterson allowed one run on six hits across 4.1 innings and did not factor into the decision in Tuesday's 4-3, 10-inning loss to the Brewers. He walked three and struck out four.
Peterson did well in limiting a talented Milwaukee lineup to just one run, but he certainly dealt with plenty of baserunners, which explains why he was pulled after 4.1 innings and 83 pitches. It was still a bounceback effort for the lefty, who was tagged for six runs in just 3.2 innings his last time out against these same Brewers. Peterson will now carry a 5.28 ERA into his next scheduled start Monday against Atlanta, which projects as a very tough matchup for the starter and one that might best be avoided for fantasy purposes.

Cubs' Carson Kelly: Out of Tuesday's lineup
Kelly is absent from the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Brewers.
Kelly was behind the dish the previous two days for the Cubs, so he'll take a seat Tuesday. Miguel Amaya will do the catch and slot into the No. 9 spot in the batting order.

Cubs' Michael Conforto: Not starting versus Misiorowski
Conforto is not in the lineup for Tuesday's contest in Milwaukee.
Conforto occupied the designated hitter slot each of the last four times the Cubs faced a righty, but he's not starting Tuesday against Cy Young favorite Jacob Misiorowski. Tyrone Taylor will hold down the DH spot for Chicago.
