Matthew Boyd - Picks up win over Arizona Boyd (2-1) earned the win Sunday against the Diamondbacks, allowing two runs on four hits and one walk with five strikeouts across six innings.

Impact It was Boyd's first quality start of the season and the first time he's pitched at least six innings. After getting tagged for seven runs across 8.2 innings in two starts since returning from the injured list, Boyd was able to find some success Sunday. He threw 65 of his 94 pitches for strikes and lowered his ERA to 6.00 with an impressive 31:6 K:BB across 24 innings this season. Boyd's 1.82 FIP entering Sunday suggests he's pitched significantly better than his box-score results. With an impressive 33.7 percent whiff rate, Boyd looks like a pitcher to buy in fantasy.

Michael Busch - Drives in four Sunday Busch went 2-for-3 with a walk, a double, a triple, a run scored and four RBI in Sunday's 8-4 win over the Diamondbacks.

Impact Busch was all over the bases Sunday as he helped power the Cubs to victory, The first baseman is heating up with a .298 batting average, eight extra-base hits and 14 RBI across his last 12 games. Busch had the opportunity to bat first Saturday with Nico Hoerner out for a game with a neck issue, but the latter returned Sunday. That development pushed Busch down to sixth in the order, with Hoerner returning to the top spot.

Moisés Ballesteros - Powers team Sunday Ballesteros went 2-for-4 with a walk, a two-run home run and an additional run scored in Sunday's 8-4 win over the Diamondbacks.

Impact Ballesteros snapped an 0-for-16 slump across his previous four games with a strong performance Sunday. Even following the mini cold spell, the 22-year-old is having a tremendous season with a .317/.380/.598 slash line, six home runs and 18 RBI across 30 contests. The Cubs also announced recently that Ballesteros would begin to see more playing time behind the plate, which should only elevate his fantasy appeal once he gains eligibility at catcher in most formats.

Luis Peralta - Claimed by Cubs, sent to Triple-A Peralta was claimed off waivers by the Cubs and optioned to Triple-A Iowa on Sunday, Taylor McGregor of Marquee Sports Network reports.

Impact Peralta was designated for assignment by the Cardinals on Friday, and he has now quickly found a new home with the Cubs. The southpaw never made an appearance in the Cardinals organization, but he posted an inflated 17.18 ERA and 3.24 WHIP with 14 strikeouts over 7.1 innings in six appearances, including one start, with Triple-A Albuquerque this season. Peralta clearly has the ability to punch out batters, but he'll need to greatly limit the damage against him in order to have any chance to join Chicago's major-league roster down the road this year.

MLB 2026 Buzz: Braves Star Ronald Acuña Heads to Injured List

Nico Hoerner - Making return to lineup Hoerner (neck) will start at second base and bat leadoff in Sunday's game against the Diamondbacks.

Impact Hoerner was removed from Friday's 6-5 win after experiencing tightness on the left side of his neck and then remained on the bench for all of Saturday's 2-0 victory, but he feels well enough to give it a go in the series finale. The 28-year-old opened the season as the Cubs' No. 5 hitter but has climbed into the leadoff spot after producing a .374 on-base percentage through his first 32 games of the campaign.
