Tending to back issue Pomeranz is scheduled to be re-evaluated Tuesday after he experienced back tightness following his relief appearance in Saturday's 2-1 win over the Pirates, MLB.com reports.

Impact Despite having his back flare up on him, Pomeranz turned in a scoreless inning en route to collecting his fourth hold of the season. After having not pitched in the majors since 2021, Pomeranz has quickly worked his way up the bullpen pecking order since getting a call-up from Triple-A Iowa in late April. The veteran southpaw has yet to allow an earned run and owns a 0.65 WHIP over 18.1 innings out of the Chicago bullpen this season, making his status worth tracking as the Cubs kick off a three-game series versus the Brewers on Tuesday.

Working as opener Thursday Pomeranz will open Thursday's game against the Nationals, Taylor McGregor of Marquee Sports Network reports.

Effective as opener Saturday Pomeranz opened Saturday's 2-0 win over the Reds and tossed a scoreless inning with a strikeout.

Impact Pomeranz only needed nine pitches to work through the opening frame, and the lefty set up bulk pitcher Ben Brown, who followed with six scoreless innings of his own. Pomeranz has now made 15 appearances for the Cubs this season covering 13.2 innings and has yet to allow any earned runs. That's made the veteran a valuable reliever working in front of Daniel Palencia, who has emerged as Chicago's top closing option in recent weeks.

Earns second win Pomeranz (2-0) tossed a scoreless inning of relief with two strikeouts to earn the win in Sunday's 11-8 victory over the Reds.

Impact Pomeranz made quick work of the Reds in the bottom of the seventh inning, then earned his second win of the season when the Cubs scored four times in the top of the eighth. The veteran righty has been good for Chicago, as he's yet to allow an earned run across 12.1 innings this year, and he's racked up 14 strikeouts as well. Pomeranz also has a save to his name, and he's quickly earning trust as a member of the Cubs' bullpen.

Secures first save Monday Pomeranz collected the save in Monday's 5-2 victory over the Marlins, allowing one hit and no walks over a scoreless inning with two strikeouts.

Impact The veteran southpaw collected his first save since Aug. 11, 2020 against the Dodgers when he was on the Padres. Pomeranz could enter the saves discussion in Chicago since Porter Hodge unraveled in a high leverage during Sunday's loss to the Mets and Ryan Pressly has struggled to a 7.07 ERA across 14 innings. Pomeranz has been steady since debuting with the Cubs on April 25, firing 7.2 scoreless innings with a 0.52 WHIP and 8:2 K:BB.
