Though currently in the wild-card hunt, the chaotic AL standings make predictions tough. Pitching remains the priority—especially with key arms sidelined—but hope is rising as Taillon, Cabrera, and Milner near returns. Still, Palencia’s return is delayed, Steele’s ramp-up is slow, and position players like Shaw linger with injuries. Hoyer’s message is clear: depth is non-negotiable, and even with pitchers coming back, the Cubs will still target more arms at the deadline.
