Milwaukee Brewers vs. Chicago Cubs - News - August 18, 2025

Willi Castro - Hits first Chicago home run Castro went 1-for-5 with a three-run home run across both games of Tuesday's doubleheader against the Brewers.

Impact Castro has been scuffling a bit since joining the Cubs at the trade deadline, but he delivered a key blast to help lead Chicago to a 6-4 win in the first game Tuesday. It was the utility man's first home run with his new team and 11th overall this season. Castro is now batting .150 across 12 games in a Cubs' uniform, though he has at least provided defensive versatility, and his big homer could get him going at the plate.

Andrew Kittredge - Earns another save Tuesday Kittredge tossed a scoreless ninth inning to record the save in the second game of Tuesday's doubleheader against the Brewers.

Impact Regular closer Daniel Palencia secured the save in the first game Tuesday, but the Cubs didn't use him for the nightcap, instead turning to Kittredge to protect a 4-1 lead. The veteran righty breezed through the top of the ninth inning on 10 pitches, giving him his second save in the last three days. Palencia is still the top option out of the Chicago bullpen, but it appears that Kittredge has earned some trust in late-game situations when needed.

Owen Caissie - Blasts first MLB home run Caissie went 3-for-6 with a home run, two total runs scored and four RBI across both games of Tuesday's doubleheader against the Brewers.

Impact A day after recording his first MLB hit, Caissie smashed his first MLB home run in Tuesday's first game, then scored and drove in another run in the nightcap before getting lifted for a pinch hitter. The young outfielder is starting to display his offensive upside after going hitless in his first five at-bats in the majors. It remains to be seen how much playing time Caissie will be able to earn the rest of the way as part of a deep Chicago roster, but when he's in the lineup, the 23-year-old offers immense potential to fantasy managers.
