Chicago Cubs Weekly Review: Hot and Not, Young Stars Rising, and Rotation Woes (2026)

The Chicago Cubs have had a rollercoaster week, with a mix of wins and losses that have kept them in the running for the postseason. Among the players who stood out, Pete Crow-Armstrong (PCA) has been a consistent standout, with impressive batting and field performance. His numbers are so good that he's on track to be Player of the Month for the second straight month. What makes PCA's performance particularly fascinating is his ability to consistently deliver, even when other players are having a better week. In contrast, Seiya Suzuki's week was a bit of a downer, but it's worth noting that he redeemed himself with three home runs. However, the Cubs' rotation has been a bright spot, with Shōta Imanaga and Matthew Boyd throwing lights-out performances since the All-Star break. On the other hand, Jameson Taillon's struggles with home runs have become a concern, and his future with the team is uncertain. Overall, the Cubs' week has been a mix of highs and lows, but with a strong rotation and consistent performers like PCA, they remain in a good position for the postseason.
