Chicago Cubs vs. Philadelphia Phillies - News - April 14, 2026

Brandon Marsh - Provides power, speed in rout Marsh went 3-for-4 with a double, two RBI, two runs scored, a walk and a stolen base in Monday's 13-7 win over the Cubs.

Impact Marsh tallied his first three-hit attack of the campaign, also swiping his second bag of the year. The 28-year-old outfielder is off to an excellent start at the dish, hitting .304 with two home runs, four doubles, 11 RBI and seven runs scored across 56 at-bats. However, the lefty-swinging Marsh has taken only eight at-bats versus southpaws in 2026, so the lack of playing time against left-handers limits his overall fantasy value.

Kyle Schwarber - Continues strong hitting in April Schwarber went 2-for-3 with two home runs, three RBI, a walk and two additional runs scored in Monday's 13-7 win over the Cubs.

Impact It was the 37th career multi-homer game by the All-Star slugger and his first of 2026. Schwarber also crossed the plate a season-high four times Monday en route to totaling a season-most eight bases. He's hit safely in eight of his 11 outings in April, hitting .278 with four long balls, three doubles, nine RBI and 10 runs scored across his last 36 at-bats.

Javier Assad - Disastrous in first loss Assad (1-1) took the loss Monday against the Phillies, allowing nine runs on 11 hits and two walks in 4.1 innings. He struck out three.

Impact After pitching 5.2 shutout innings in his season debut versus the Rays, Assad faltered in a much tougher spot against Philadelphia's potent lineup. The nine runs allowed were a career worst, and the 11 knocks given up were also a career worst for the right-hander. Matthew Boyd (biceps) is on track to rejoin the Cubs' rotation early next week against the Phillies, so Assad's next start may not come at the major-league level if Boyd is indeed ready to return by then.

Cristopher Sánchez - Fans eight in six strong innings Sanchez (2-1) notched the win Monday against the Cubs, allowing two runs on six hits and three walks in six innings. He struck out eight.

Impact Other than serving up a two-run shot to Dansby Swanson in the fourth inning, Sanchez put together another strong outing Monday. The star left-hander fanned at least six for the fourth time in as many starts this year, also generating an impressive 16 whiffs on the evening. Sanchez, who owns a 2.01 ERA, 1.39 WHIP and 31:7 K:BB over 22.1 innings, has given up two runs or fewer in each of his four appearances ahead of a difficult assignment this weekend against Atlanta.

Riley Martin - Serving as opener Tuesday Martin will open Tuesday's game against Atlanta, Taylor McGregor of Marquee Sports Network reports.

Impact Martin will presumably work the first inning or so before handing the ball to a bulk reliever. Colin Rea appears to be the favorite to follow Martin, considering he last pitched Thursday in Tampa Bay, where he picked up the win after allowing one run on two hits and two walks while striking out a pair over five innings.
