INJURIES

Contract selected for spot start Newcomb had his contract selected by the Cubs and will start Game 2 of Thursday's doubleheader against the Cardinals, Sahadev Sharma of The Athletic reports.
Impact The left-hander was previously announced as the starter for Thursday's nightcap, and he's now officially been added to the big-league roster. Newcomb has surrendered 12 earned runs with an 8:6 K:BB across 9.1 big-league innings between Chicago and Atlanta this season.

Getting start in doubleheader The Cubs will call up Newcomb from Triple-A Iowa to start the second game of Thursday's doubleheader with the Cardinals, Maddie Lee of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.
Impact Chicago added lefty Matt Dermody from Iowa ahead of the twin bill to serve as their 27th man, but the team will wait until after Game 1 to officially select Newcomb's contract from the minors. The southpaw has made all 39 of his appearances at the big-league level over the past two seasons out of the bullpen, but he'll be joining the Cubs as a starter after having recently moved into the rotation at Iowa. He built up to four innings and 71 pitches in his last minor-league outing, so Newcomb could struggle to work deep enough in Game 2 to factor into any decision.

Rookies Madris, Contreras lead Pirates to 7-1 win over Cubs

Bligh Madris hit his first major league home run and fellow rookie Roansy Contreras pitched five solid innings to lead the Pittsburgh Pirates to a 7-1 victory over the Chicago Cubs
JUNE 22, 2022 • Associated Press
Clears waivers The Cubs outrighted Newcomb to Triple-A Iowa on Monday, Maddie Lee of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.
Impact Newcomb will have until Wednesday to decide whether to accept the assignment to Iowa or elect free agency. Between stops with Atlanta and Chicago this season, Newcomb was charged with 12 earned runs on 16 hits and six walks while striking out eight over 9.1 innings.
JUNE 21, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Dropped from 40-man roster The Cubs designated Newcomb for assignment Monday.
Impact Newcomb has now been DFA'd on two occasions this season; he was previously booted off Atlanta's 40-man roster in April before being dealt to the Cubs. He spent most of his six-week tenure with the Cubs on the 15-day injured list with a left ankle sprain before he was blasted for five earned runs in an inning of long relief in his first game back from the IL in Sunday's 18-4 loss to the Yankees.

Lit up in return from IL Newcomb (ankle) was shelled for five earned runs on six hits and a walk while striking out one over an inning out of the bullpen in Sunday's 17-4 loss to the Yankees.
Impact Back in action for the Cubs after a month-long stint on the 15-day injured list with a sprained left ankle, Newcomb entered the contest in the sixth inning with the Cubs trailing 10-3 and did little to clot the bleeding. He now sports an 11.57 ERA and 2.36 WHIP over 9.1 innings between stops in Atlanta and Chicago and could be in danger of being booted off the 40-man roster if he doesn't turn things around in the near future.
JUNE 13, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Back from injured list Newcomb (ankle) was activated off the injured list Sunday, Meghan Montemurro of the Chicago Tribune reports.
Impact Newcomb wound up missing over a month with a sprained left ankle. Prior to the injury, he struggled to a 7.56 ERA and 7:5 K:BB in 8.1 innings of relief, so he'll likely be limited to low-leverage opportunities.
JUNE 12, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Making third rehab outing Tuesday Newcomb (ankle) is scheduled to make his third rehab appearance for Triple-A Iowa on Tuesday, Tim Stebbins of NBC Sports Chicago reports.
Impact Newcomb has worked 1.2 innings between his first two outings at Iowa, giving up two earned runs on one hit and two walks. Whenever the Cubs deem him ready to return from the 15-day injured list, Newcomb will occupy a low-leverage role out of the bullpen.
MAY 29, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Starting up rehab assignment Newcomb (ankle) is scheduled to begin a rehab assignment Tuesday at Triple-A Iowa, Meghan Montemurro of the Chicago Tribune reports.
Impact Newcomb has been on the shelf for under two weeks with the left ankle sprain, so he likely won't require more than an appearance or two in the minors before the Cubs are comfortable activating him. Between stops with Atlanta and Chicago this season, Newcomb has made six relief appearances covering 8.1 innings and has given up seven earned runs on 10 hits and five walks.
MAY 23, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Throws bullpen session Newcomb (ankle) threw a 40-pitch bullpen session Saturday, Andy Martinez of Marquee Sports Network reports.
Impact Newcomb resumed playing catch last weekend, and he handled a fairly significant workload while throwing off a mound Saturday. The team will wait to see how he responds to Saturday's throwing session prior to determining the next steps in the southpaw's recovery, but he seems to be trending toward a relatively minimal absence.
MAY 21, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Plays catch Newcomb (ankle) played catch Saturday, Meghan Montemurro of the Chicago Tribune reports.
Impact Newcomb hit the injured list Wednesday with a sprained left ankle. The fact that he's playing catch three days later suggests that his absence may not be a particularly long one. He's expected to resume mound work soon.

Rivas' key hit vs hometown Padres lifts Cubs to 7-5 win

Goes on IL with ankle injury The Cubs placed Newcomb on the 15-day injured list Wednesday with a left ankle sprain, Meghan Montemurro of the Chicago Tribune reports.
Impact According to Maddie Lee of the Chicago Sun-Times, Newcomb picked up the ankle injury while shagging flyballs in the outfield during batting practice Sunday. Since being acquired from Atlanta on April 20, Newcomb has made just three appearances out of the Chicago bullpen, working 3.1 innings while giving up three earned runs.
MAY 11, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Off to rough start Newcomb, who allowed three runs across 1.1 innings in Friday's loss to the Brewers, has an 8.59 ERA this season.
Impact Newcomb was traded to the Cubs on April 20 to serve as another lefty option in the bullpen. The 28-year-old hasn't made much of an impact yet, allowing 10 hits, five walks and two home runs across 7.1 innings. Newcomb struggled some in his last two seasons with Atlanta also, as evidenced by a 1.70 WHIP in 2021 and a 1.90 WHIP in 2020. His WHIP so far this season is 2.05, and if Newcomb keeps allowing baserunners at this rate, he's unlikely to find much success.

Traded to Cubs Newcomb, along with cash considerations was traded from Atlanta to the Cubs on Wednesday in exchange for Jesse Chavez.
Impact Newcomb was designated for assignment by Atlanta on Tuesday, and Chicago opted to acquire him via trade rather than potentially losing out on a waiver claim. The 28-year-old lefty had a 3.87 ERA across his first three big-league campaigns, but he's struggled over the past three years, which limited his opportunities in the majors. He'll now receive a fresh start with the Cubs.
