"The Cubs have lost three games in a row, and we just found out that Justin Steele had a major setback in his recovery. So, yeah, the good vibes of that ten-game winning streak are very quickly nearing total erasure."
"The good news is that yesterday's matchup was probably the least winnable of the series. Tonight, the Cubs have Edward Cabrera going up against Walker Buehler."
"Moises Ballesteros has been moved all the way up to the second spot in the Cubs lineup. He's been an incredible hitter all season, making contact, hitting for power, accepting his walks."
"Bregman's getting a night off against Walker Buehler, and Shaw is coming in to play third. Carson Kelly is back behind the plate, and the bench is Miguel Amaya, Michael Conforto, Nicky Lopez, and Bregman."
The Cubs have lost three consecutive games, compounded by Justin Steele's recovery setback. Despite this, they face a favorable matchup against the Padres, who are missing Manny Machado. The lineup features Moises Ballesteros in the second spot, reflecting his impressive performance this season. Other notable changes include Alex Bregman resting and Matt Shaw playing third base. The Cubs aim to secure a win for their fans amidst recent struggles.
