Impact The 24-year-old prospect suffered the injury while attempting to catch a wide throw to first base that put his arm in the path of Mark Canha, leading to a collision. Long will likely miss some time while he recovers, though it's still unknown whether his injury will impact his availability for the start of the regular season.

Porter Hodge - Struggles with command Friday Hodge allowed two runs on a hit and four walks while retiring just a single batter via strikeout in Friday's Cactus League game against the White Sox.

Impact It was an alarming spring training debut for Hodge, who struggled last year after a promising 2024 rookie season. The righty saw his BB/9 jump from 4.0 two years ago to 4.9 last year, and he'll need to improve in that area if he wants to stick around as a high-leverage reliever for the Cubs. Hodge has maintained good velocity in both of his professional campaigns and has a career 10.9 K/9, so the talent is there if he can refine his control.

Jameson Taillon - Struggles in spring debut Taillon allowed four runs on four hits and a walk across 1.2 innings of work in Friday's Cactus League game against the White Sox. He struck out one.

Impact Making his spring training debut, Taillon allowed a pair of home runs and only recorded five outs while tossing 34 pitches. Fantasy managers shouldn't worry too much about spring results for the veteran, as he should be able to round into form once the regular season begins and offer up fairly steady performance. However, health is worth monitoring with Taillon, as he made a few trips to the injured list in 2025 and only logged 129.2 regular-season innings, his fewest in a season since 2019.

Moisés Ballesteros - Expected to report Saturday Ballesteros (personal) is expected to report to spring camp Saturday, Jesse Rogers of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Visa problems have prevented Ballesteros from arriving at spring training, but the issue now seems to be resolved, and he will be able to begin preparing for the regular season. The 22-year-old's poor defense will likely keep him from appearing behind the plate often with the Cubs, but he could see regular time as a DH after posting an .868 OPS in 20 big-league games last season.
