Shuts door Thursday for second save Rolison pitched a clean ninth inning to record the save in Thursday's 2-1 win over the Brewers.

Impact With Jacob Webb taking a comebacker off his forearm Wednesday, the Cubs needed to go in a different direction to close out Thursday's game, and Rolison was up to the task. Webb is experiencing soreness but will avoid a a stint on the injured list, so Rolison's time as Chicago's closer may be short lived, though it's possible Webb misses a few more games. No matter what role he's been in this year, Rolison has been solid with a 2.93 ERA and 49 strikeouts across 55.1 innings, and he now has two saves to his name as well.

JULY 1 • Associated Press

Records first MLB save Rolison retired the only batter he faced to record the save in Tuesday's 9-7 win over the Padres.

Impact The lefty Rolison was tapped for a matchup against Jackson Merrill to end the game. As he's done all season, the southpaw shut the door against a lefthanded batter, and this time it earned him his first career MLB save. Rolison is limiting lefties to a .152 batting average, and he's recorded 17 strikeouts across 14.1 innings in those matchups. That's helped stake the reliever to a stellar 1.97 ERA overall this year. Rolison isn't Chicago's first option for saves at the moment, but he's quickly earning trust in the team's bullpen.

Brewers square off against the Cubs with series tied 1-1

Both the Milwaukee Brewers and the Chicago Cubs are looking for a series win with a victory on Sunday

JUNE 28 • Associated Press

Beginning bullpen game Sunday Rolison will work as the Cubs' starter Sunday versus Milwaukee, Bruce Levine of 670TheScore.com reports.

Impact Rolison has one opening appearance so far this season, retiring all four batters he faced against the Giants on June 13. He's tossed fewer than two frames in each of his 10 outings so far in June, so the left-hander presumably won't go very deep into Sunday's matchup. There's no clear bulk-relief option behind Rolison, so Chicago may elect to deploy several relievers in relatively short stints to get through the game.

Impact Rolison has been an effective relief option this year with a 2.25 ERA, 1.25 WHIP and 24:12 K:BB over 24 innings, and he's now se to make his first start of the season, and second of his career. The left-hander has covered more than one frame in eight of his 20 appearances this year and is likely to give way to Colin Rea after an inning or two Sunday.

JUNE 14 • Associated Press

Earns fifth win Saturday Rolison (5-1) pitched a scoreless inning of relief to earn the win in Saturday's 3-2 extra-inning victory over the Giants. He walked a batter and struck out two.

Impact Rolison pitched a clean top of the 10th inning, then secured the win when the Cubs plated a run in the bottom half to complete their comeback. After struggling to a 7.02 ERA and 1.77 WHIP across 42.1 innings last season during his MLB debut with the Rockies, the lefty has been much better in year No. 2 with a 2.49 ERA and 1.25 WHIP in 21.2 innings so far. A move away from Coors Field surely helped, but Rolison has also dialed his fastball up to 94.5 mph on average after sitting at 92.9 mph in 2025. His K/9 has climbed accordingly from 5.3 last season to 8.7 in 2026.
