In other moves, we've got guys called up, guys on rehab stints, guys on the IL, and even a guy on a new team.In position player news, Asians are MASHING. Seiya Suzuki is the first player in MLB to reach 50 RBI, Trevor Larnach is delivering on the Twins, Kim Hyeseong stays above 400, and Tommy Edman's son Eli is the newest Asian in Baseball as he throws out the first pitch on Dada's bobblehead night. And in pitching, Tommy Sugar still leads Orioles pitching, Yusei Kikuchi and Yoshinobu Yamamoto get the Ohtani treatment, and Bryan Woo and Kodai Senga remain dominant. Lastly, Ohtani tries to have it all as a three-way player: DHing, ramping up his pitching regimen, and juggling dad life.

Last night, the Indiana Pacers stunned the basketball world with a thrilling 111-110 victory over the Oklahoma City Thunder in Game 1 of the 2025 NBA Finals. Tyrese Haliburton's game-winning shot capped a dramatic 15-point fourth-quarter comeback, marking Indiana's fifth such rally this postseason. Pascal Siakam led with 19 points and 10 rebounds, while Obi Toppin's 17 points off the bench sparked the upset. The Pacers' relentless pace and clutch play set the tone for a competitive series, proving their underdog status is no fluke. Switching to baseball, the Cincinnati Reds face a critical weekend series against the Chicago Cubs at Great American Ball Park. The Reds, hovering around .500, are fighting to stay in the NL Central race. After a rollercoaster May, where they split series against strong teams like the Dodgers and Braves, Cincinnati needs consistency. Their offense, led by Elly De La Cruz's speed and Jonathan India's on-base skills, has shown flashes of brilliance but struggles with runners in scoring position, batting just .240 in those spots this season. The Cubs, sitting third in the division, are a tough matchup. Their pitching staff, anchored by Shota Imanaga (2.95 ERA), has been stingy, allowing the third-fewest runs in the NL. Chicago's lineup, powered by Cody Bellinger and Seiya Suzuki, thrives on exploiting mistakes, making Cincinnati's pitching staff—prone to wildness—vulnerable. Reds starter Hunter Greene (3.45 ERA) takes the mound Friday, aiming to set the tone with his high-90s fastball. However, his command issues (4.1 BB/9) could be costly against the disciplined Cubs. Saturday's matchup features Nick Lodolo, whose breakout 2025 (3.12 ERA, 9.5 K/9) has been a bright spot for Cincinnati. He'll face Chicago's Justin Steele, a lefty who's limited opponents to a .220 average. The Reds must capitalize early, as the Cubs' bullpen ranks among the league's best. Sunday's finale pits Andrew Abbott against Kyle Hendricks, where Cincinnati's ability to work counts could decide the game. The Reds need at least two wins to gain ground in the division. De La Cruz's base-stealing (35 SB) and Spencer Steer's power (15 HR) will be key. Defensively, Cincinnati must tighten up after recent errors cost them games. Expect a high-energy series with playoff implications, as both teams vie for postseason

The Cincinnati Reds faced the Chicago Cubs in a thrilling three-game weekend series at Great American Ball Park, concluding on May 25, 2025. The Cubs, leading the NL Central, dominated the series, winning two of three games, showcasing their offensive prowess and late-inning resilience. The Reds, fighting to stay competitive in the division, struggled to contain Chicago's bats but salvaged a win against the Kansas City Royals on Monday, May 26, 2025, boosting their momentum. On Friday, May 23, the Cubs opened the series with a 13-6 rout. Chicago's lineup erupted, capitalizing on Cincinnati's pitching struggles. Seiya Suzuki, a standout all weekend, went 7-for-12 in the series, setting the tone early. The Reds' offense, led by Austin Hays' two hits and three RBIs, couldn't keep pace, as Chicago's 29-7 record when recording eight or more hits proved too much. Saturday's game saw the Cubs edge out a victory, with their pitching staff, led by Colin Rea (3-0, 2.38 ERA), holding firm despite a late Reds push, fueled by Elly De La Cruz's .241 average and 33 RBIs. Sunday's finale was a rollercoaster. The Reds led 8-4, but the Cubs mounted a comeback, scoring seven runs in the final four innings. Seiya Suzuki's go-ahead three-run homer and Reese McGuire's historic two-homer debut off the bench powered an 11-8 Cubs victory. Nico Hoerner and Pete Crow-Armstrong each drove in two runs, while Drew Pomeranz earned the win with a scoreless inning. The Reds' bullpen, notably Taylor Rogers (1-2), faltered, dropping Cincinnati to 25-27 and third in the NL Central, while the Cubs solidified their 31-20 division lead. Following the series loss, the Reds rebounded on Monday against the Kansas City Royals, winning 7-4 at Kauffman Stadium. Nick Martinez (2-5, 3.43 ERA) delivered seven strong innings, and Tyler Stephenson's homer sparked the offense. The Reds' 17-5 record when scoring five or more runs held true, as they capitalized on early opportunities and held off a late Royals rally. This victory, highlighted by posts on X, pushed Cincinnati's record to 26-27, offering hope as they navigate a critical stretch of division games, including upcoming matchups against the Cubs and Milwaukee.

The Chicago Cubs lead MLB in run differential, but is it sustainable long-term? We break down Pete Crow-Armstrong's breakout, Kyle Tucker's red-hot week, and Matt Shaw's impressive emergence in the Cubs' lineup. With bullpen injuries piling up, Cade Horton and other young arms are being thrown into high-leverage roles. Tune in as the CHGO Cubs crew analyzes what's real, what's not, and what's next for this red-hot Cubs team.
The Cincinnati Reds are set to face the National League Central-leading Chicago Cubs in a pivotal three-game series at Great American Ball Park, starting Friday, May 23, 2025. This series marks the return of Reds ace Hunter Greene from the 15-day injured list, a development that has fans and analysts buzzing with anticipation. Greene's comeback is a critical boost for Cincinnati as they aim to close the gap with the division-leading Cubs. Greene, a first-time All-Star in 2024, has been sidelined since May 7 due to a Grade 1 right groin strain sustained during a start against Atlanta. Before the injury, the 25-year-old right-hander was dominant, posting a 4-2 record with a 2.36 ERA over 45.2 innings, striking out 61 batters while issuing just eight walks, and maintaining a stellar 0.81 WHIP. His return on Friday, confirmed by manager Terry Francona, follows a successful 35-pitch simulated game on May 18, where Greene reported no discomfort and easy velocity. Francona's confidence in Greene's readiness underscores the pitcher's meticulous preparation, including a bullpen session in Pittsburgh this week. Facing the Cubs, Greene brings a strong track record. He is 4-1 with a 4.06 ERA in seven career starts against Chicago, including a standout performance on May 26, 2023, when he tossed six no-hit innings with 11 strikeouts in a 9-0 victory at Wrigley Field. However, Cubs outfielder Seiya Suzuki poses a challenge, hitting .462 with two homers in 13 at-bats against Greene. Chicago will counter with left-hander Matthew Boyd (4-2, 2.98 ERA), who has struggled in Cincinnati, going 0-3 with a 9.69 ERA in four career starts. The Reds' rotation for the series is formidable, with Andrew Abbott (3-0, 1.80 ERA) and Nick Lodolo (4-4, 3.22 ERA) slated for Saturday and Sunday. Cincinnati, sitting at .500, sees this series as a chance to gain ground in the NL Central, especially with two of their next four series against the Cubs. Greene's return injects energy and leadership into a young Reds squad, and his performance could set the tone for a crucial stretch. With the Cubs riding high, this matchup promises high-stakes baseball, with Greene's electric arm at the forefront.
