Series preview: What to watch as Cardinals, Cubs face off for first time this season
It took 89 days, but at long last, the Chicago Cubs and St. Louis Cardinals will finally play each other in a pivotal division matchup. The Cubs (46-31) have cruised atop the National League Central for the majority of the season. The Cardinals (42-36) have been a pleasant — if not remarkable — surprise. In a year designed to be about player development and preparing for future seasons, St. Louis has surpassed expectations and is proving to be a competitive club. It's made for a compelling division race so far: 4 1/2 games separate these two historic rivals (and don't forget the Milwaukee Brewers, who sit between the two at 43-35). The Cardinals will host the Cubs for four games at Busch Stadium starting Monday. To preview the series, Cardinals beat writer Katie Woo and Cubs beat writer Sahadev Sharma break down three areas to watch as these archrivals finally meet in 2025. tuck = activated#VoteCubs // — Chicago Cubs (@Cubs) June 22, 2025 Katie Woo: The Cardinals rotation was projected by most to be its Achilles' heel. Instead, it's helped them gain their footing. St. Louis starters have thrown the sixth-most innings in MLB (427 2/3) while posting a 3.96 ERA, a mark that ranks right at league average. And like we all predicted, it's Erick Fedde who leads the rotation with his 3.54 ERA. The Cardinals (once again) are not a swing-and-miss staff. Sonny Gray leads the rotation with 90 strikeouts, but the next pitcher on that list is Matthew Liberatore with 66. It's a groundball-reliant staff, but they've done an exceptional job pitching to their strengths — no team in baseball has recorded more ground-ball outs than the Cardinals' 455. Advertisement What has really been the difference-maker for St. Louis is its health. During an era when pitching injuries are at an all-time high, the Cardinals have not had a significant injury to their pitching staff. The organization has been extremely intentional about maximizing rest and keeping its starting pitchers on a six-day schedule. That's why they've implemented a six-man rotation at times, turning to Michael McGreevy as a spot starter when needed. That pattern will continue this series. Though not yet official, McGreevy should start one of the next four games, likely Tuesday. Sahadev Sharma: No one would have been surprised had the Cubs collapsed with Justin Steele out for the season and Shota Imanaga getting hurt May 4. But somehow, they've grown their division lead in that time. There are probably three main reasons why. First, Matthew Boyd has pitched like an All-Star. He's been stellar and stayed healthy. Jameson Taillon has been an inning-eating, quality-start machine. He has had issues with the long ball, but he doesn't walk batters and is a leader in the clubhouse. Those two have been tremendously valuable. Finally, rookie Cade Horton isn't going to blow anyone away with his numbers just yet, but he's displayed the type of poise on the mound rarely seen by youngsters. Imanaga will return soon, likely in St. Louis, but it'd be a surprise if Horton, who replaced Imanaga in the rotation, is going anywhere. He appears to be just scratching the surface. Sharma: Pete Crow-Armstrong is a freak on defense. You have to watch him in person to fully appreciate the speed and breaks he gets on the ball. He's a menace on the basepaths, as well. He will chase pitches out of the zone, so he can sometimes look rough. But he can also hit balls out of the park that are at his ankles or his eyes. His power display has been remarkable this season, and he deserves a lot of credit for making mechanical tweaks that have led to him emerging as a superstar. Oh, to be young and good at baseball. — Chicago Cubs (@Cubs) June 19, 2025 Woo: The Cardinals don't have a clear budding star like Crow-Armstrong, but what Brendan Donovan has done can't be ignored. He can play around the diamond, but he's solidified himself as the starting second baseman. Manager Oli Marmol has hit Donovan third most of the season, but with Lars Nootbaar working his way back up from a slump, Donovan has become the default leadoff hitter. His .308 average (third highest in the National League behind only Will Smith and Freddie Freeman) made that decision fairly easy. Donovan is the type of gritty, old-school player the Cardinals seemed to churn out regularly a decade ago. He's become a fan favorite because of his play style. Advertisement Woo: After a two-year hiatus, the Cardinals are again a strong defensive club. They lead baseball with 24 outs above average. Masyn Winn is a legit shortstop, and Victor Scott II can match Crow-Armstrong in center field in terms of standout plays. Nolan Arenado is still Nolan Arenado, and old friend Willson Contreras has become a top first baseman in the National League (seriously, check the stats). The offense took a significant hit with Iván Herrera (hamstring strain) out for several weeks, but Alec Burleson and Nolan Gorman have swung hot bats lately, regardless of opposing handedness. NOLAN ARENADO GOES ALL OUT! — St. Louis Cardinals (@Cardinals) May 25, 2025 The biggest strength for this team is its resilience, as evidenced by 19 comeback wins. The Cardinals play a lot of close ballgames and hardly ever get blown out. That's what makes this squad dangerous — regardless of scenario, you can rarely count it out. Sharma: Everyone should know the Cubs offense is great. They faced some amazing starting pitching in June — MacKenzie Gore, Tarik Skubal, Zack Wheeler and Paul Skenes are just a handful — so it's been a so-so month. But make no mistake, this offense is fearsome. Beyond that, they have a lot of speed and they're aggressive on the basepaths. They've made a habit of not giving the opposition easy outs and forcing mistakes. When you do that against this lineup, it likely will cost you. The defense at every position is stellar, and that rarely slumps. Finally, after a dreadful start to the season, the bullpen has turned into a strength. Brad Keller, Drew Pomeranz, Daniel Palencia and Caleb Thielbar are just a handful of names you likely aren't aware are doing brilliant work in relief for the Cubs.

Mets 'Monitoring' Bullpen Market; Could Diamondbacks Closer Be Match?
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. The New York Mets know they will need to bolster to the bullpen if they want to win the National League East title this season. It's a position every contender pushes for at the trade deadline, and the Mets won't be an exception to this rule. That's why they should look into Shelby Miller of the Arizona Diamondbacks. MLB insider Bob Nightengale is reporting Miller could be dealt if Arizona falls out of contention."The Arizona Diamondbacks' playoffs hopes continue to take body blows with co-closers A.J. Puk and Justin Martinez undergoing season-ending elbow surgeries, joining ace Corbin Burnes and starters Jordan Montgomery and Tommy Henry," wrote Nightengale. "If they're out of the race at the trade deadline, they'll be swarmed with calls seeking starters Zac Gallen and Merrill Kelly, along with third baseman Eugenio Suarez, first baseman Josh Naylor and closer Shelby Miller." Miller has appeared in 32 games so far this season and has recorded eight saves with a 2.03 ERA. He's blown just one save this year while also recording eight holds for the Diamondbacks. Ken Rosenthal and Will Sammon confirmed on Friday that the Mets will be targeting relievers next month. "The Mets are monitoring the market for help in center field and the bullpen, league sources said," wrote Rosenthal and Sammon. "Speculatively, other possible and more expensive targets such as a frontline starter may emerge." Miller makes a lot of sense for a team like the Mets. Steve Cohen and David Stearns are already well above the luxury tax this season as money is never an issue for them. The 34-year-old reliever is making just $1 million this season in Arizona, so New York would only be responsible for the remainder of that price. The Mets would be getting a high-leverage reliever for less than $1 million and boost the back end of their bullpen with Edwin Diaz. It's a deal that almost makes too much sense for New York with the division race likely going down to the final week of the season.

Tigers Today: Tigers shake off 3-game losing streak
GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. (WOOD) — The Tigers have bounced back after their first real stretch of adversity for the first time in a while. Starting with the second half of Thursday's doubleheader with Pittsburgh and the first two games of the series against the Rays, Detroit lost three in a row for just the third time all season. Advertisement Tigers end 3-game slide with rout of the Rays It sounds kind of bizarre when you think about it. The Tigers (49-30) have only lost three consecutive games three times as we head toward the All-Star break. Even crazier? One of those streaks was the first series of the season when they faced the reigning champion Dodgers on the road. Better yet? They have yet to drop four in a row. Speaking of bizarre, the team is coming off a bit of a weird stretch and a whirlwind series in Tampa Bay. With Wednesday's rain out, the Tigers and Pirates played a split doubleheader on Thursday — one that featured two rain delays of its own. The final delay came in the ninth inning in a 4-4 tie, which ultimately ended in a flop, an 8-4 loss in extras. So, what should have been an early getaway day to get into Florida, ended up being a late night. Tigers broadcaster Jason Benetti says the team landed in Tampa around 2:30 on Friday morning. Advertisement Sign up for the News 8 daily newsletter Jack Flaherty got roughed up Friday night in a 14-8 loss and Tampa's bats handled Brant Hurter and Sawyer Gipson-Long for an 8-3 loss on Saturday afternoon. The Tigers scored six runs in the ninth inning on Sunday afternoon to put away the Rays and avoid a sweep with a 9-3 win. But things look a little different with a big-picture view. From the start of the doubleheader to the end of Sunday's game, the Tigers went 2-3 and packed in a late-night flight in less than 75 hours. Not too bad, all things considered.

The reliever took two losses and gave up 10 total runs in three appearances. Advertisement It started with the 10th inning in the finale against Pittsburgh. After a brief rain delay, the Tigers couldn't generate the winning run in the bottom of the ninth, so A.J. Hinch sent Hurter out to keep the Pirates at bay. But the Buccos came out swinging, touching up Hurter for four runs, three earned, on four hits and a walk. Hurter served as the opener for Saturday afternoon's game in Tampa, and once again he got hit around. The 26-year-old lefty gave up four runs, all unearned, on two hits, two walks and a hit batter. With a 9-1 lead in the ninth on Sunday, Hurter was called on once again. This armchair manager suspects Hinch wanted to give him an opportunity to get his confidence back after two rough outings. It didn't work. He walked two batters and hit another to load the bases before being pulled. Two of those runners came around to score before Brenan Hanifee finished it out. Prior to this week, Hurter had been a solid option for the Tigers' bullpen. Before Thursday, he had a 1.67 ERA with a 1.01 WHIP (walks and hits per inning) in 37.2 innings. Advertisement The Tigers do have two other lefties in the bullpen: Tyler Holton and Matt Gage.

(Getty Images) MIZE AVOIDS INJURY The Tigers have already lost Jackson Jobe for the season and are still waiting for Alex Cobb and Reese Olson to get back, so it was a big relief when the team announced that Casey Mize did not suffer a serious injury during Sunday's game. Mize was pulled in the sixth inning with an apparent leg injury, but Hinch clarified afterward that it was just a cramp and the team was being cautious. The former No. 1 pick already missed two weeks last month with a hamstring strain, and spent two months on the injured list last year with a similar injury. Advertisement Sunday was one of Mize's best starts of the season. He gave up six hits but were able to pitch around trouble. He allowed just one run on a solo home run. INJURY UPDATE Speaking of Olson and Cobb, the two starters are getting closer to a return. Hinch told reporters on Friday that Olson will take one more rehab start before being activated from the 15-day injured list. The 25-year-old went down in mid-May after inflammation in the ring finger on his throwing hand. He has completed some rehab starts in the minors, initially avoiding his changeup, which places the most pressure on the injured finger. He pitched 3.2 scoreless innings on Thursday for Triple-A Toledo on 58 pitches. Advertisement We should also see more action this week from Cobb. The veteran got another pain injection in his left hip on June 13 and was shut down for a week. He has been approved for restarting bullpen sessions. He has made a handful of rehab appearances for High-A West Michigan and Triple-A Toledo, where he has been effective, but the timeline has yet to shake out. UP NEXT The Tigers have another day off on Monday before returning to Detroit for a six-game homestand. Tarik Skubal will take the mound Tuesday against the Athletics (32-48) and likely again on Sunday against the Twins (37-40). Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.
