Hoby Milner - MLB News, Rumors, & Updates

Stuck with blown save Milner was credited with the blown save during the Cubs' 7-6 extra-inning win over the Reds on Wednesday after giving up one run on one hit and one walk while striking out one batt...

Impact The Cubs initially turned to Corbin Martin to protect the team's 4-2 lead in the ninth, but Milner had to be brought in after the former gave up a solo homer before loading the bases. Milner struck out the first batter he faced before giving up three runs to the next two hitters he faced, and that was enough for him to be tagged with the blown save. He shouldn't see many more save opportunities this season, as Daniel Palencia is the Cubs' preferred closer after the former's return from the 15-day IL on Sunday.

Secures first 2026 save Milner struck out the only batter he faced to record a save in Wednesday's 5-4 win over the Padres.

Impact The Cubs got 1.2 innings from Ben Brown following seven strong frames by starter Jameson Taillon, but when the Padres pinch hit lefty Gavin Sheets with two outs in the ninth, Chicago countered with the southpaw Milner. San Diego then went to the bench again and sent out Ramon Laureano, though Milner was up to the task. It was the reliever's first save of the season and just his second at the MLB level. With all of Daniel Palencia (lat), Riley Martin (elbow), Caleb Thielbar (hamstring) and Hunter Harvey (triceps) out, Milner has had to step into a more prominent role, and he's responded with a 2.40 ERA and 0.93 WHIP across 15 innings so far.

Pitching well so far Through 13 appearances this season, Milner has a 2.70 ERA and 1.05 WHIP out of Chicago's bullpen.

Impact Milner served up a solo home run across an inning of relief Sunday, but it's still been a good start to the season for the veteran lefty. He's logged 10 scoreless outings in his 13 appearances overall and has recorded two holds as well. However, Milner has only tallied three strikeouts over 13.1 innings, and his lack of swing-and-miss stuff gives him a smaller margin of error moving forward compared to other relievers.
