Allows three more runs Sunday Pomeranz allowed three runs on two hits and a walk while retiring only one batter in Sunday's 6-1 loss to the Red Sox.

Impact While fellow reliever Ryan Pressly was charged with the loss after allowing a go-ahead, two-run home run to Wilyer Abreu in the seventh inning, Pomeranz struggled to keep the Cubs within striking distance when he came on in the eighth. The lefty started his season by rattling off 26 straight appearances without allowing any earned runs, but he's now allowed five earned runs across his last three innings of work. Pomeranz still has a sparkling 1.71 ERA overall, though he is showing some signs of regression.

Cubs play the Cardinals after Busch's 3-home run game

Will work as opener Saturday Pomeranz is slated to serve as the Cubs' opening pitcher for Saturday's game against the Cardinals, Jared Wyllys of AllCHGO.com reports.

Impact Chicago has a hole in its rotation after Jameson Taillon (calf) landed on the 15-day injured list Friday. Jordan Wicks was called up from Triple-A on Friday to take Taillon's roster spot, and he could pitch in bulk relief behind Pomeranz, though the Cubs haven't confirmed their plans for when the latter exits the contest. Pomeranz has worked as an opener twice this season and tossed exactly one inning both times, so he should be expected to see about the same workload this time around.

Will work as opener Saturday Pomeranz is slated to pitch as an opener against St. Louis on Saturday, Jared Wyllys of AllCHGO.comreports.

Impact Chicago has a hole in its rotation after Jameson Taillon (calf) landed on the 15-day IL on Friday. Jordan Wicks was called up from Triple-A on Friday to take Taillon's roster spot, and he could follow Pomeranz on the mound Saturday, though that's not a certainty. Pomeranz has worked as an opener twice this season and tossed exactly one inning both times, so he should be expected to see about the same workload this time around as well.

Works eighth inning, earns hold Pomeranz worked around a hit to toss a scoreless inning of relief and earn a hold in Thursday's 3-0 win over the Cardinals. He struck out one.

Impact Pomeranz got the nod in the eighth inning of a close game instead of Ryan Pressly, who last pitched on Tuesday. Pressly recorded a save as recently as June 12, though since then, Daniel Palencia has rattled off three saves, including his eighth of the season Thursday. Palencia has been excellent and seems to be strengthening his grip on the closer role, but it appears that the bullpen is a bit fluid in front of him. Pomeranz has also been excellent this season, as he still hasn't allowed an earned run across 21.2 innings. The lefty also has five holds and a save, and his strong play figures to keep him in a high-leverage spot for the Cubs moving forward.

Impact Pomeranz experienced some back pain during the June 14 outing against the Pirates but was shut down for just a few days before the Cubs made him available out of the bullpen. The lefty was hit around a bit in his last two appearances but still has yet to give up an earned run over his 19.2 innings with the Cubs since being acquired from Seattle on April 21. He owns a 0.92 WHIP and 19:6 K:BB and has collected two wins, one save and four holds over his 22 appearances.

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.

Impact Pomeranz fared well as an opener during his last appearance Saturday, during which he tossed a perfect first inning and recorded a strikeout. He'll now aim to replicate his success while working in front of Colin Rea, who is expected to follow Pomeranz in bulk relief.

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.
