Cubs manager Craig Counsell told reporters that the benching is precautionary, so there’s a good chance this will only be a game or two absence for the 30-year-old. Seiya Suzuki will be the left fielder, and Pete Crow-Armstrong is leading off with Happ out.

Swanson singled in a run in the first and delivered a solo shot off Tyler Megill in the fourth. It was his eighth homer of the year, putting him on pace to smash his 2024 total of 16 homers in 149 games. His .240 average and 48/13 K/BB ratio are mediocre, but as long as the power numbers hold up, he’s at least a fringy option in mixed leagues.

Some were disappointed to find out Horton wasn’t starting today, but the bulk role definitely helped his chance of getting a win. He took over for Brad Keller with the Cubs up 2-0 in the second and pitched through the fifth before leaving with a 4-3 lead. He struck out five and walked none along the way, and all of the damage came on Brett Baty’s homer in the fourth. Horton should stick for now and face the White Sox as either a starter or a bulk guy next weekend. He’ll be worth playing in mixed leagues then.

The Cubs didn’t use Ryan Pressly tonight after he threw 19 pitches in a scoreless inning Friday. It’s quite possible Hodge is taking over as the Cubs’ closer, but we’re guessing Pressly will get a chance to hold on to the job if he can avoid any missteps over the next week or two. Hodge is definitely worth rostering at the moment.

Larnach hit a 108.5 mph double off Logan Webb in the first, but the Twins couldn’t capitalize then. The two-run homer came in the third, and Minnesota’s pitching staff made a 2-1 lead hold up over the rest of the evening. Larnach is batting .232/.313/.380 with six homers and 20 RBI through 39 games. It’s not great for a guy who is spending a lot of time DHing, but it seems unlikely that the Twins will be able to do better.

He went 0-for-1 with a walk before leaving. It’s worth noting that Altuve’s exit comes in a game where Houston is trailing by five runs, so there’s at least a chance this is precautionary. He’ll likely undergo some testing before Sunday’s finale, but it seems likely that the 35-year-old will be out of that lineup for at least that game. Brendan Rodgers has taken over at second base.

The Cardinals did all of their damage against the Nationals in the second inning on Saturday, brining in all four of their runs in the frame. Nootbaar drove in two on a double off Trevor Williams for his only hit in the game. The 27-year-old outfielder is having a solid season at the plate, slashing .243/.368/.401 with five homers, 25 runs scored, and four steals across 182 plate appearances.
