Cubs Escape with 6-5 Win Over Diamondbacks

The Cubs survived a tense late-inning stretch to beat the Diamondbacks 6-5 at Wrigley. Key moments included Michael Busch’s two-run single off Zac Gallen, solid contributions from the Cubs’ bullpen, and a late surge as Chicago held on after Nico Hoerner left with neck tightness and a pinch-hitter was used. Daniel Palencia began a rehab stint in Iowa, and Swanson returned to the lineup, with the Cubs continuing to lean on effective pinch-hitting early this season. Full box score and related Cubs coverage follow.

Cubs Weigh Nico Hoerner Extension as Free-Agency Looms

The Cubs are weighing a long‑term extension for Nico Hoerner after his career year, but a deal may be delayed as his impending free agency raises the price tag and payroll questions. Ken Rosenthal framed Hoerner as a test of the Cubs’ willingness to spend, and while a Peters Crow-Armstrong extension could be more likely, Chicago is also considering internal options (like Matt Shaw and Jefferson Rojas) as possible replacements. No immediate Hoerner extension is expected this week.

Giants Target High-Impact 2B Upgrades in Hoerner or Donovan

Giants Target High-Impact 2B Upgrades in Hoerner or Donovan

San Francisco has intensified its pursuit of a proven second baseman, reportedly targeting Cubs’ Nico Hoerner and Cardinals’ Brendan Donovan as upgrades to a weak 2025 group. Donovan appears more attainable given St. Louis’s rebuild, while Hoerner would be a close, high-contact fit; both are 29 next season with defensive versatility. Trade costs could be steep, and Cubs’ win-now posture or Cardinals’ rebuilding push could shape the package. The Giants have payroll room after adding rotation pieces and remain open to other routes (including market shifts from Bo Bichette’s status) to address the position.
