Pete Crow-Armstrong - First postseason hits Crow-Armstrong went 3-for-4 with an RBI in Thursday's Wild-Card win over the Padres.

Impact Crow-Armstrong logged the first postseason hits of his career and also recorded three hits in a game for the first time since Aug. 15. He's shifted down the Cubs' order as a result, but he should remain a regular for the team's upcoming series against the Brewers in the NLDS.

Michael Busch - Pops first postseason homer Busch went 3-for-4 with a solo home run in Thursday's Wild-Card win over the Padres.

Impact Busch gave the Cubs an insurance run with his home run to lead off the seventh inning. It also marked the first postseason home run of his career. Busch went 4-for-10 in three games against the Padres.

Jameson Taillon - Works four innings Taillon threw four shutout innings while allowing two hits and striking out four in Thursday's Wild-Card game against the Padres.

Impact Taillon pitched well and needed only 60 pitches to complete his four innings of work. However, manager Craig Counsell still opted to turn to his bullpen early in the decisive Game 3 win to advance to the NLDS. Taillon will likely be a part of Chicago's rotation in the team's upcoming series against Milwaukee, and he's now allowed one or fewer earned runs in seven straight starts.
