Cubs' Ian Happ: Goes yard in loss
Happ went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run and a walk in Monday's 8-6 extra-inning loss to the Tigers.
Happ came through in the clutch with a two-run homer to tie the game in the eighth frame, though the Cubs ultimately fell in 10 innings. He has had a quiet July, going 9-for-47 (.191) with three extra-base hits in 14 contests. Overall, the switch hitter is slashing .218/.329/.429 with 18 homers, 44 RBI, 62 runs and four stolen bases across 96 games.

Cubs' Seiya Suzuki: Blasts homer in loss
Suzuki went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run and a walk in Monday's extra-inning loss against Detroit.
Suzuki jumped on a center-cut fastball from Jack Flaherty, lifting it over the center-field wall for a two-run homer in the third inning. Things have been going well at the plate for Suzuki of late, as he's riding a nine-game hitting streak during which he has gone 13-for-34 (.382) with three long balls. Overall, the 31-year-old is slashing .273/.357/.476 with 16 homers, 50 RBI, 52 runs and a stolen base across 84 contests.

Cubs' Jameson Taillon: Allows four runs in return from IL
Taillon did not factor into the decision of Monday's extra-inning loss, allowing four runs on five hits and two walks over 4.1 innings against the Tigers. He struck out six.
Making his first start since June 7 after landing on the injured list with a left hamstring strain, Taillon was ambushed early, allowing all four runs in the first inning on back-to-back homers by Riley Greene and Dillon Dingler. It has been a challenging season for Taillon, as after posting an ERA below 4.00 and winning at least 10 games in each of the past two regular seasons, the veteran right-hander has stumbled to a 2-5 record with a 5.38 ERA, 1.32 WHIP and 65:25 K:BB across 72 innings (14 starts) in 2026. His next outing is tentatively scheduled for Sunday against the Pirates.

Cubs' Trent Thornton: Departs with foot injury
Thornton was removed from Monday's game against the Tigers after being struck on the left foot by a comebacker, Mike McGraw of the Chicago Daily Herald reports.
Thornton was deployed in the top of the 10th inning, but the first batter of the frame drilled the right-hander with a comebacker, forcing Thornton to exit the matchup. The 32-year-old was able to put some weight on his foot as he walked off the field and will likely be sent for further evaluation.

Cubs' Carson Kelly: Taking seat Monday
Kelly is not in the lineup for Monday's contest against the Tigers.
It's a routine day off for Kelly. Miguel Amaya will do the catching for the Cubs and occupy the No. 9 spot in the batting order.

Cubs' Drew Pomeranz: DFA'd by Cubs
The Cubs designated Pomeranz for assignment Monday, Patrick Mooney of The Athletic reports.
Pomeranz latched on with the Cubs earlier this month after being released by the Angels, but he fared worse during his time with the Northsiders. Between the two stops, the lefty holds a 5.59 ERA and 17:16 K:BB over 29 innings this season. The 37-year-old Pomeranz could have to accept a minor-league contract if he wants to continue pitching.

Cubs' Phil Maton: Back to IL with knee tendinitis
The Cubs placed Maton on the 15-day injured list Monday with right knee tendinitis, Patrick Mooney of The Athletic reports.
Maton returned just over a week ago from the same injury and is now back on the IL after making just one appearance. Manager Craig Counsell said Monday that it will be "a little more of an extended absence" for Maton this time around, per Meghan Montemurro of the Chicago Tribune. The reliever will receive multiple opinions on his knee before deciding on a course of action. It's been a struggle this season for the veteran reliever, as Maton has posted an ugly 6.18 ERA and 1.81 WHIP in 31 outings after inking a two-year, $14.5 million contract last offseason.

Cubs' Jameson Taillon: Activated ahead of Monday's outing
The Cubs activated Taillon (hamstring) from the 15-day injured list Monday, Patrick Mooney of The Athletic reports.
Taillon will rejoin the Cubs' rotation with a start Monday against the Tigers after missing the last six weeks of action with a strained left hamstring. The veteran right-hander threw only 53 pitches in his last rehab start with Triple-A Iowa, so he will be relatively limited from a workload perspective versus Detroit.

Cubs' Shelby Miller: Throwing again in Arizona
The Cubs announced July 5 that Miller (elbow) has resumed a throwing program in Arizona, MLB.com reports.
Chicago isn't completely ruling Miller out from returning from the 60-day injured list in September, but his main focus is getting back to full health for the start of the 2027 campaign after undergoing surgery last October to repair a torn right UCL and flexor tendon. Back in February, Miller signed a two-year, $2.5 million contract with the Cubs that includes a club option for 2028.

Cubs' Hunter Harvey: Throwing, but far away from return
Manager Craig Counsell said July 8 that Harvey (triceps/shoulder) has resumed a throwing program at the Cubs' facility in Arizona, but the right-hander remains without a clear timeline for a return from the 60-day injured list, MLB.com reports.
Harvey initially landed on the injured list April 12 due to right triceps inflammation, then suffered a setback in early May, when he was diagnosed with a stress reaction near his triceps and shoulder. After an extended shutdown period, the 31-year-old is beginning to ramp up again, but the Cubs are likely to ease him along cautiously in his throwing program. He's likely at least a month away from rejoining the Chicago bullpen, and a clearer target date probably won't be available until he heads out on a rehab assignment.

Cubs' Ben Brown: Showing improvement
Cubs manager Craig Counsell said Friday that Brown (neck) has begun to increase his activity and has taken part in workouts with plyometric balls, MLB.com reports.
Counsell added that Brown is considered "asymptomatic" as he recovers from a stress reaction with his neck, an injury that sent him to the shelf June 24. Though Brown has seemingly made decent progress after being shut down from activity for a few weeks, the Cubs want him to proceed conservatively with his rehab program. He's without an official timeline for a return from the 15-day injured list, and the Cubs likely won't be able to pinpoint a target date for Brown until he starts throwing off a mound and facing hitters.

Cubs' Ethan Roberts: Tosses clean inning in rehab outing
Roberts (forearm) tossed a perfect inning in a rehab appearance Sunday with Triple-A Iowa.
Roberts needed just 10 pitches (seven strikes) to retire the side in what was his first game action at any level since June 28. Cubs manager Craig Counsell hasn't provided word on the next steps for Roberts, but the right-hander may not need any further rehab appearances before returning from the 15-day injured list. MLB.com currently lists Roberts as its probable starter for Tuesday's game against the Tigers, though if he's activated for that contest, he would likely work just an inning or two before David Peterson takes over in bulk relief.

Cubs' Alex Bregman: Reaches 10-homer mark
Bregman went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run, a walk and an additional run scored in Sunday's 10-1 win over the Twins.
Bregman opened the scoring with a two-run blast off Zebby Matthews in the first inning, giving him his 10th home run of the season. The veteran infielder has begun to heat up after a slow first half, homering three times over his last five games. Bregman entered the All-Star break with a lackluster .241 average and .696 OPS, but his recent surge could be an encouraging sign that he's turning things up offensively.

Cubs' Shota Imanaga: Tosses seven scoreless innings
Imanaga (6-8) earned the win Sunday against the Twins, allowing six hits and one walk while striking out four over seven scoreless innings.
Imanaga threw 63 of his 99 pitches for strikes and kept Minnesota's lineup in check throughout the afternoon. Chicago's offense gave him plenty of breathing room with 10 runs over the first four innings, but the left-hander still turned in his fourth scoreless outing of the season. After enduring a rough four-start stretch in late May that saw him post a 10.80 ERA, Imanaga has bounced back with a 2.31 ERA across his last seven starts. The southpaw is lined up to face the Pirates on the road in his next outing.
