Swanson Back in Cubs Fold as Báez’s Season Closes and Verlander Eyes Farewell

The Cubs reinstated Dansby Swanson from the 10-day IL after an oblique strain, with his return aiding a 6-4 loss to the Reds as he posts solid defense and a .217/.302/.404 line with 18 HR and 17 steals this year. Cardinals top prospect Joshua Báez ends his season after landing on the 10-day IL with a left oblique strain, having hit .230/.278/.510 with 7 HR in 108 PA. Justin Verlander, who is retiring after the season, continues rehab with a 20-pitch live BP as he recovers from hip/hamstring issues. Tigers right-hander Jack Flaherty also hopes to return from IL shortly. Twins outfielder Trevor Larnach goes on the 10-day IL with a left wrist sprain; if he finishes 2026, he’s on pace for a career-best 123 wRC+ with .269/.352/.436 and 13 HR across 433 PA. The saga includes a near-trade of Larnach to Houston for Bryan Abreu, blocked by Astros owner Jim Crane.

Swanson's Return Prompts Cubs to DFA Arias and Shuffle Playoff Bench

With Dansby Swanson set to return Friday from an oblique injury, the Cubs are expected to DFA veteran infielder Gabriel Arias, a rarely-used waiver claim who hasn’t fit into the roster with Swanson back. B.J. Murray may remain with the major-league club, and the Cubs are poised to carry several position players for the playoff roster—Ramirez, Shaw, Kelly, Conforto, Tyrone Taylor—with Justin Dean eyed as a potential versatile bench option.

Cubs Shuffle Roster as Cabrera and Swanson Hit IL

Cubs Shuffle Roster as Cabrera and Swanson Hit IL

The Chicago Cubs placed right-hander Edward Cabrera on the 15-day injured list with a right middle finger blister and shortstop Dansby Swanson on the 10-day IL with a left oblique strain. James Triantos was optioned to Triple-A Iowa, while Javier Assad and Kevin Alcántara were recalled and Owen Miller was added to the roster; Daniel Palencia was moved to the 60-day IL to clear space. With Swanson out for several weeks, Nico Hoerner will handle shortstop and Pedro Ramírez will get more time at second, with Miller providing bench depth. Cabrera, who had just returned from a hamstring issue, is expected to be used in shorter stints upon his return, likely in September, due to his blister history. Palencia’s 60-day move is procedural as he nears reinstatement from elbow inflammation.
