Carson Kelly cannot be contained. The pair of homers brings his total up to four in 2025, and the three hits and pair of walks ups his slash to 417/.571/1.042 in the (very, very) limited sample. Kyren Paris could never. The regression is likely to be hard and swift, but Cubs’ fans have every right to enjoy what they’ve seen from Kelly in 2025.

Suzuki turned a 2-1 deficit into a 4-2 advantage with one mighty swing of the bat in the fifth inning, crushing a 1-0 sinker from Chad Patrick for a 413-foot (102.8 mph EV) three-run shot. He struck out in each of his three other at-bats on the night, but that’s fine as he still was able to play the role of hero. On the season, the 30-year-old slugger is slashing a healthy .261/.317/.536 with 18 homers, 61 RBI and a pair of stolen bases.

Tucker smacked a one-out double off of Chad Patrick in the fifth inning that set the stage for Seiya Suzuki’s go-ahead three-run blast. He also doubled in the first inning and singled in the third, but the Cubs were unable to cash him in either of those times. The 28-year-old superstar outfielder is now slashing a robust .284/.394/.515 with 13 homers, 43 RBI and 18 stolen bases in what has been a terrific first season with the Cubs thus far.

The 25-year-old hurler struck out Joey Ortiz and got Sal Frelick on a pop out to third base to open the ninth inning. He then allowed a two-out double to Jackson Chourio which brought the tying run to the plate, but Palencia rebounded to get William Contreras on a fly ball to center field to end it. He has done a terrific job for the Cubs this season, compiling a 1.67 ERA, 0.96 WHIP and a 29/10 K/BB ratio over 27 innings while converting seven of his first eight save chances. He has started to separate himself in the Cubs’ bullpen and should hang onto the closer’s gig even when Porter Hodge returns from the injured list, making him a viable target in any shallow mixed leagues where he may still be available.

No surprise here after Jeffers was lifted from Tuesday’s battle after taking a foul ball off his throwing hand. The positive news here is that X-rays came back negative for any fractures and he’s merely dealing with a right hand contusion. He should be able to return at some point later this week once the swelling subsides. It’ll be veteran Christian Vázquez taking over the catching duties in his absence.

Goodman takes a seat for just the third time since June 1. The 25-year-old slugging backstop has been one of the hottest hitters in baseball during that span, batting .350 (21-for-60) with seven round-trippers and 15 RBI over 15 contests. It’ll be rookie Braxton Fulford handling the catching duties on Wednesday night at Nationals Park.

Moreno was scratched Tuesday from the lineup because of soreness in his right hand, and it’ll keep him out Wednesday. Jose Herrera is in the lineup behind the plate and will hit ninth. Moreno remains day-to-day.
