Designated for assignment The Cubs designated Milner for assignment Saturday, Bruce Levine of 670TheScore.com reports.

Impact The Cubs placed Milner on outright waivers Friday in an effort to shed some payroll, but now that the 35-year-old has cleared waivers, the team will opt to remove him from its 40-man roster. He owns a 3.53 ERA and 1.21 WHIP through 35.2 innings in the majors this season but hasn't pitched in the majors since undergoing an appendectomy in late June. He gave up three earned runs in 10.2 innings during his rehab assignment at Triple-A.

Pops three-run home run Friday Ramirez went 1-for-4 with a three-run home run in Friday's 10-8 loss to the Reds.

Impact Ramirez made his lone hit count as he blasted his fourth home run of the season, a three-run shot in the eighth inning. The 22-year-old has had a fine rookie campaign, as he's now slashing .285/.343/.442 across 59 games. Ramirez has emerged as Chicago's top option at second base, as Nico Hoerner has shifted over to cover shortstop recently with Dansby Swanson (oblique) on the injured list. For however long his playing time remains elevated, Ramirez looks like he'll be a strong fantasy performer.

Blasts 17th home run Friday Busch went 1-for-4 with a walk and a two-run home run in Friday's 10-8 loss to the Reds.

Impact Busch has now gone deep three times in his last nine games, and he's up to 17 long balls overall. The slugging first baseman hasn't quite matched last year's production, when he blasted 34 home runs and finished with an .866 OPS during the regular season, but he's still had a productive campaign in 2026. Busch now has 68 RBI and a .754 OPS in 133 games this year to go along with his 17 homers.

Tallies three hits in loss Suzuki went 3-for-5 with two doubles, two RBI and two runs scored in Friday's 10-8 loss to the Reds.

Impact Suzuki recorded his third multi-hit effort over his last five games, and during that span, he's sporting a robust 1.173 OPS with three RBI and seven runs scored. This month, the talented outfielder is slashing .287/.385/.521 with four home runs, 17 RBI and 19 runs scored in 24 contests. It's been another outstanding season for Suzuki, and he'll remain a key offensive figure for the Cubs during their stretch run.

Fans six in no-decision Peterson didn't factor into the decision in Friday's 10-8 loss to the Reds, allowing two runs on six hits and three walks over five innings. He struck out six.

Impact The southpaw left the mound after 88 pitches (54 strikes) with the Cubs holding a 3-2 lead, but Trent Thornton immediately coughed it up in the top of the sixth once Peterson was out of the game. Peterson has given up more than two earned runs just once in his last nine outings, posting a 2.35 ERA, 1.26 WHIP and 41:19 K:BB over 46 innings during that span, and he has yet to lose a game since joining Chicago. He's set to make his next start at home next week against the Brewers.
