The Chicago Cubs placed reliever Gavin Hollowell on the 15-day injured list with right shoulder inflammation before their series opener against the New York Yankees on Friday and recalled left-hander Antoine Kelly from Triple-A Iowa.

Kelly was acquired from the Dodgers earlier this summer and has posted a 2.79 ERA, 1.24 WHIP, and 22/7 K/BB ratio in 19 1/3 innings in the Chicago organization. If he gets into a game with the Cubs, it will be his MLB debut.

Part of Chicago's calculus at the trade deadline is its well-rounded position players are good enough to win multiple rounds in October.

There would be no dramatic flair, no 10th-inning homer complete with social media-ready bat flip to put the Cubs ahead this time.

In the Chicago Cubs’ game July 20 at Wrigley Field, Pete Crow-Armstrong passed Kevin Kiermaier for the most 5-star catches in the Statcast era.

The Chicago Cubs have a pretty crucial matchup against the Yankees on Friday, but it may be on hold due to rain in the area.

Lars Nootbaar took responsibility for Thursday's Cardinals loss to the Cubs, committing an error leading to a run. Here's what he, manager Oliver Marmol and pitcher Andre Pallante said afterwards.
