Pomeranz gets the nod to open Saturday night’s series-deciding matchup in Milwaukee. The 36-year-old lefty has yet to allow a run in five innings this postseason and will face the top of the Brewers lineup to kick off an all-hands-on-deck scramble for the Cubs as they try to come all the way back to win the best-of-five series after dropping the first two contests.

Fantasy managers shouldn’t anticipate Pomeranz working more than an inning or two as Chicago’s opener in place of an injured Jameson Taillon (calf).

The Cubs said after the game that it was lower back tightness for Pomeranz, who stayed in and finished the inning after the visit. Pomeranz has been terrific for the Cubs after being rejected by the Mariners, allowing only one unearned run (an automatic runner scoring in the 10th) over 18 1/3 innings in a setup role.

Rosenthal adds that Pomeranz has an upward mobility clause in his minor league contract with Seattle, which means they had to offer him to every other club in the majors, and either promote him themselves or trade him if another team was willing to put him on their big-league roster. The 36-year-old southpaw has posted strong numbers this season at Triple-A Tacoma, but hasn’t pitched in the majors since 2021, mostly due to injury.
