Jordan Wicks - Records easy save Wednesday Wicks allowed one run on five hits across three innings of relief and earned the save in Wednesday's 23-3 win over the Padres. He struck out two.

Impact Wicks certainly had a big enough cushion to work with, and he finished off the rout for his second save in the last four days. The lefty isn't necessarily Chicago's top option for saves, as his last one came after the team had already gone through six pitchers in an extra-inning contest, and Wednesday was simply mop-up duty. Wicks should settle in as a middle-relief option most days, which limits his general fantasy appeal.

Miguel Amaya - Big game in easy win Wednesday Amaya went 2-for-4 with a walk, three RBI and three runs scored in Wednesday's 23-3 win over the Padres.

Impact Amaya was a bit overshadowed by Chicago's eight home runs on the day, but he still managed a strong performance of his own. The 27-year-old catcher isn't seeing a ton of playing time behind Carson Kelly and came into the contest batting just .226 with no home runs this month, though Amaya is a capable offensive performer when given the opportunity.

Pete Crow-Armstrong - Homers, swipes base in rout Crow-Armstrong went 2-for-4 with a three-run home run, an additional run scored and a stolen base in Wednesday's 23-3 win over the Padres.

Impact Crow-Armstrong batted leadoff for the Cubs and enjoyed a great offensive performance as the team rolled to 17 hits and eight home runs overall. The star outfielder showed off his impressive combination of power and speed, and he's now up 19 home runs and 21 stolen bases for the season. Crow-Armstrong is trending toward reaching the 30-30 plateau for the second straight year after blasting 31 home runs and swiping 35 bags during the 2025 regular season.

Michael Conforto - Goes deep twice in big win Conforto went 3-for-4 with a walk, two home runs, four RBI and four total runs scored in Wednesday's 23-3 win over the Padres.

Impact Conforto hit two of Chicago's eight total home runs in the blowout victory. It was the veteran's first multi-homer performance of the season, and he's now up to seven long balls overall across 56 contests. Conforto is expected to see a short-term increase in playing time with Matt Shaw (hand) recently landing on the injured list, and so far he is off to a strong start.

Dansby Swanson - Launches three more homers in rout Swanson went 3-for-5 with three home runs, an additional run scored and eight total RBI in Wednesday's 23-3 win over the Padres.

Impact Swanson is rapidly putting his early season struggles behind him with an impressive power surge in recent weeks. The shortstop went deep twice Tuesday, and he now has three multi-homer performances and six long balls overall across his last 10 games. Swanson set a new career high with his three home runs Wednesday, which pushed him up to 16 for the year. Fantasy managers who stuck with the scuffling veteran have been rewarded in a big way the past handful of contests, and it looks like Swanson can be counted on to produce good stats the rest of the way.
