The Cubs are fighting to stay alive in the standings as they face the Cardinals in a must-win game, coming off a brutal extra-innings loss that exposed their offensive woes. Nico Hoerner returns to the lineup at second base, giving Pedro Ramírez a well-timed day off despite his hot streak. On the mound, Javier Assad takes the hill for the Cubs, replacing Shota Imanaga who’s being saved for a big series against the Yankees. The Cardinals counter with Andre Pallante, a pitcher who thrives on ground balls — a matchup that could decide the game. With the trade deadline looming, every at-bat and pitch matters as Chicago looks to turn things around.
