Overview

  • Before the series opener in Chicago, Cincinnati recalled right-hander Chase Petty from Triple-A and optioned reliever Zach Maxwell.
  • Petty steps into the rotation spot opened by Brandon Williamson, who went on the injured list with left shoulder fatigue.
  • At Triple-A Louisville this year, Petty logged a 4.38 ERA over six starts after a rough 2025 debut that produced a 19.50 ERA in six major-league innings.
  • Chicago plans to start Edward Cabrera, and the Cubs enter with a 14-5 home mark and an 11-game win streak at Wrigley Field.
  • Left-hander Nick Lodolo is scheduled to return later this week with his first start targeted for Friday against the Astros.
