Impact Sampson surrendered a solo home run to Harrison Bader to start the game. He didn't allow any further damage through four innings. He had allowed two earned runs in each of his last four starts prior to Saturday. The 29-year-old ends the year with a 2.80 ERA, 1.08 WHIP and 28 punchouts in 35.1 innings this season.

Denied win in quality start Sampson didn't factor into the decision in Saturday's 8-5 loss to the Cardinals, allowing two runs on three hits over six innings. He struck out four without walking a batter.

Impact The right-hander was sharp, throwing 51 of 83 pitches for strikes and leaving the mound in line for his second win of the season, but the Cubs' bullpen immediately squandered the lead in the top of the seventh inning. The quality start was Sampson's first of the year, but he's held his own in September, posting a 3.09 ERA, 0.90 WHIP and 14:4 K:BB through 23.1 innings over five appearances.

Traditional start awaits Sampson is listed as the Cubs' starting pitcher for Saturday's game against the Cardinals.

Impact In his most recent appearance Sept. 19 in Milwaukee, Sampson was deployed as a primary pitcher out of the bullpen behind starter Keegan Thompson, who was capped at two innings and 40 pitches in his return from the 10-day injured list. Though Thompson is expected to work deeper into his next outing in Sunday's series finale with the Cardinals, the Cubs will expand to a six-man rotation to allow both Sampson and the rookie to pick up starts. Sampson covered four innings in relief in the appearance against the Brewers, so he should be relatively stretched out for a normal starter's workload as he steps back into the rotation.

Piggybacks Thompson on Sunday Sampson didn't factor into the decision Sunday in the Cubs' 6-4 win over the Brewers while giving up two runs over four innings behind starter Keegan Thompson. The right-hander sca...

Impact Sampson's prior two outings had come in a starting role, but he ceded his spot in the rotation to Thompson, who returned from the injured list after a two-week absence due to an inflamed shoulder. Since he didn't complete a rehab assignment prior to being activated, Thompson was capped at 40 pitches Sunday, resulting in Sampson working behind him in a tandem role. The Cubs aren't likely to ask Thompson to toss more than 60-to-70 pitches his next time out this weekend versus St. Louis, so another long-relief appearance could be in the forecast for Sampson.

Picks up first win Sampson (1-2) earned the win over Philadelphia on Tuesday, hurling five-plus innings and allowing two runs on four hits and two walks while striking out three.

Impact The right-hander wasn't overpowering in the contest -- he notched only five swinging strikes and three punchouts -- but he did enough to earn his first victory of the campaign. Sampson served up a solo home run to Odubel Herrera in the first frame, then kept the Phillies off the scoreboard for the next four innings before yielding a leadoff double in the sixth and subsequently exiting the contest. He has completed five frames and given up exactly two earned runs in each of his past two starts, which could help him stick in the rotation moving forward. Sampson is tentatively lined up to make his next appearance at Milwaukee on Sunday.
