The Cubs open a three-game series at Fenway Park.
Friday notes...
AFTER THAT BAD START... Since losing their first two games of the season at Texas, the Cubs have suffered back-to-back losses only once more, and that was to different opponents, in different cities: at San Diego, then at Seattle. Meanwhile, the Cubs have had a five-game winning streak and two streaks of three straight. The Cubs are 16-7 since their 0-2 start. They were 16-7 last year...Photo by Paul Rutherford/Getty Images

The Cubs make their first visit to Fenway Park in seven years.
The last time the Cubs played in Fenway Park, 2013 Red Sox World Series hero Koji Uehara was on the Cubs, and former Cubs closer Craig Kimbrel was a member of the Red Sox.
The Cubs lost that game 6-2, and there isn’t a single player who played that evening who’s still on the team he played for back on April 30, 2017, unless you count Kyle Hendricks on the Cubs’ injured list.
A lot...
In a notable roster move on Tuesday, the Chicago Cubs decided to designate Garrett Cooper for assignment, as reported by Robert Murray of FanSided. Simultaneously, the Cubs are giving Matt Mervis another opportunity at the MLB level, signaling a potential shift in their lineup strategy.

The Cubs sweep the Astros to close a successful homestand.
Every season is an entity onto its own. You watch enough seasons and they start to feel like one long homogenous mass. But when you sort them out, or more specifically when one is going on, you can really feel that individuality. And so, as we sit in front of this currently unfolding season, this feels like an odd one.
I think that a majority of Cubs fans probably thought that this team...

At the end of baseball’s first month, things are starting to take shape.
It seems impossible that a full month of baseball has passed us by. It feels like only yesterday we were celebrating Opening Day, and now we’re getting to a point where it might be time to stop saying “small sample size” as an excuse.
The Dodgers aren’t a shocker as the NL West leaders, but the surprises might be the Guardians having baseball’s best record, and...

South Bend shuts out Quad Cities. That’s the end of the good news.
Outfielder Bradlee Beesley was promoted from Double-A Tennessee to Iowa.
The Cubs signed right-handed pitcher Nico Zeglin and assigned him to Low-A Myrtle Beach. Zeglin had been pitching out of the Mexican League and had pitched collegiately for Gonzaga and Long Beach State.

The Chicago Cubs entered action on Thursday with a chance to complete the sweep over the Houston Astros. Thanks to a close win on Wednesday, the pressure was off entering Thursday, but three is always nicer than two.
The Chicago Cubs are once again looking for bargains to bolster their pitching staff. On Thursday, the club reportedly agreed to terms on a minor-league deal with a very old friend in pitcher Dan Straily.

Pete Crow-Armstrong won the game with his first MLB hit.
The first thing I thought when I saw Pete Crow-Armstrong’s sixth-inning blast head toward the right-field bleachers was, “You have got to be kidding me!” PCA had struggled so mightily in his first exposure to MLB pitching last September, and Justin Verlander had just made him look silly in his first two MLB at-bats this year.
And then he launches a two-run homer — into the teeth of a...
The Chicago Cubs have made an interesting move by acquiring 28-year-old right-handed pitcher Daniel Missaki from the Mexican League. Missaki, who previously played for the Diablos Rojos, finalized his signing with the Cubs.
The Cubs have agreed to a minor league contract with veteran right-hander Dan Straily, reports Craig Mish of SportsGrid and the Miami Herald. Straily had
