Summary
Javier Assad is back in the Cubs’ rotation after a brief stint in Iowa, set to start Saturday against the Marlins — and it’s a move that makes perfect sense. With the pitching staff battered by injuries, Assad has been a steady, reliable arm all season, posting a 6-1 record, a 3.46 ERA over 83⅓ innings, and consistently striking out batters. His return isn’t just timely — it’s essential as the Cubs gear up for their final 20 games, and keeping him in the rotation is a smart, playoff-caliber decision.
