Lotta bullets started accumulating on Pete Crow-Armstrong’s night and recent stretch and bat and glove and all that, and I realized I needed to break that off. So much more on PCA coming later …
This is quietly very hard to pull off, timing your slide just right to ensure you don’t smash the wall, but also having the body control to pull right up there to the falling sphere:talk about smooth. pic.twitter.com/nE51XXwis3
Cubs reliever Phil Maton got a platelet-rich plasma (PRP) injection in his troublesome right knee today. Counsell said that following the injection Maton will have no significant activity for the next 3 weeks.

Realistically, it’s probably not reasonable to expect impact from him down the stretch, given what we’ve seen so far this year. A more realistic hope is that he can be back to his typical self next year. Hopefully Trent Thornton is good to go soon, as the Cubs would have to make an IL decision in the next day or two for backdating purposes:"Obviously frustrating, it's the same leg as my achilles … [but] definitely a lot of positive signs today. Did a modified throwing program. Hopefully taking it day-by-day and be back in there soon."Trent Thornton on his heel injury. pic.twitter.com/YvtvP6wenq

— Awful Announcing (@awfulannouncing) July 22, 2026 It’s obvious, as you’re standing on third base, that your teammate is toast in that rundown. Immediately, even, because the ball is being caught two feet from him. So all you have to do is stay at third. Just stand there. Why are you leaving? What do you hope to accomplish? Giving back a base? The heck of it is that he actually at first made a really GOOD decision to come to third in the first place. And then he gave it away and lost the game. … which dropped the Phillies to a game and a half behind the Cubs for the top Wild Card spot.
