Miguel Amaya - Begins hitting program Amaya (oblique) has started a hitting program, Taylor McGregor of Marquee Sports Network reports.
Impact Amaya began a throwing program June 15, and he has now started to do work from the plate as well. Manager Craig Counsell said Monday that the team is targeting a return for the catcher around the All-Star break. Amaya has been on the 10-day injured list with a left oblique injury since May 24, but he appears to be on the cusp of launching a minor-league rehab assignment.

MLB All-Star Ballot: Judge, Ohtani Retain Lead, Vladdy Jr. Jumps Goldschmidt
Matthew Boyd - Cleared for next start Cubs manager Craig Counsell said Monday that Boyd (shoulder) is "all good" for his next scheduled start Wednesday in St. Louis, Maddie Lee of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.
Impact Boyd had to be removed from his last outing against the Mariners with a bruised left shoulder after being struck by a comebacker. However, he got through his normal between-starts bullpen session without any hiccups and is all systems go for this week's outing against the Cardinals.
JUNE 23, 2025 • ROTOWIRE
Shota Imanaga - Rejoining rotation Thursday Cubs manager Craig Counsell said Monday that Imanaga (hamstring) will rejoin the rotation Thursday in St. Louis, Maddie Lee of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.
Impact Counsell had already revealed that Imanaga's next start would come in the big leagues, and now the skipper has revealed the exact day. The southpaw has been shelved since early May with a strained left hamstring. Imanaga threw 72 pitches and went 4.1 innings in his final rehab outing, so he will have a somewhat restricted workload against the Cardinals.
JUNE 23, 2025 • ROTOWIRE
Carson Kelly - Returns to lineup Monday Kelly is starting at catcher and batting sixth in Monday's game against the Cardinals.
Impact After getting a breather Sunday, Kelly will return to the lineup to face lefty starter Matthew Liberatore in St. Louis. Kelly's current backup, Reese McGuire, launched his fourth home run of the year Sunday in only 12 games, while Kelly has been slumping recently. The latter should remain Chicago's top catcher as long as Miguel Amaya (oblique) is sidelined, but McGuire could carve out a larger role in the short term if he stays hot and Kelly continues to struggle.
JUNE 23, 2025 • ROTOWIRE
Michael Busch - Resting against lefty Busch is not in the lineup for Monday's game against the Cardinals.
Impact St. Louis is starting lefty Matthew Liberatore, so Busch will head to the bench while Justin Turner starts at first base in his stead. Busch has been good this season with an .869 OPS, 12 home runs and 44 RBI through 72 games, but he's gone just 4-for-33 with 10 strikeouts against southpaws, so he will likely continue to be a platoon player who plays primarily against righties.
JUNE 23, 2025 • ROTOWIRE
Justin Turner - Enters lineup Monday Turner is starting at first base and batting eighth in Monday's game against the Cardinals.
Impact With St. Louis starting lefty Matthew Liberatore, regular first baseman Michael Busch will get a day off, allowing Turner to enter the lineup. The veteran is just 3-for-17 this month and is only batting .204 with a .551 OPS overall, so his fantasy appeal has been limited so far in 2025.
JUNE 23, 2025 • ROTOWIRE
Dansby Swanson - Returns to lineup, batting cleanup Swanson is starting at shortstop and batting fourth in Monday's game against the Cardinals.
Impact After getting his first day off of the season Sunday, Swanson will return to the lineup Monday in St. Louis, and he's in a prime position to produce as the team's cleanup hitter against lefty starter Matthew Liberatore. Over the past three years, Swanson's OPS is more than 100 points higher when facing southpaws as opposed to righties.

Michael Fulmer - Summoned to big leagues The Cubs selected Fulmer's contract from Triple-A Iowa on Monday.
Impact Fulmer will begin his second stint in the big leagues with the Cubs, after he previously made 58 relief appearances for the club during the 2023 season. He underwent UCL revision surgery shortly after that season and didn't pitch in 2024 before catching on with the Red Sox. After being booted off the Red Sox's 40-man roster and electing free agency in April, Fulmer reunited with the Cubs on a minor-league deal and pitched effectively at the Triple-A level. He'll earn another look in the Chicago bullpen after he logged a 2.96 ERA, 1.24 WHIP and 32:11 K:BB in 24.1 innings with Iowa.
JUNE 23, 2025 • ROTOWIRE
Nate Pearson - Sent back to Triple-A The Cubs optioned Pearson to Triple-A Iowa on Sunday.
Impact Pearson's stay with the Cubs lasted just two days, with the right-hander getting sent back to Iowa after he was roughed up for five earned runs on five hits and two walks over two innings while mopping up in Sunday's 14-6 loss to the Mariners. Chicago called up right-hander Michael Fulmer from Iowa to take Pearson's spot in the bullpen.
