The Cubs are calling up Javier Assad to stabilize their struggling rotation after a brutal 18-run loss, sending Ethan Roberts down to Triple-A to make room. With injuries piling up and their ERA sinking to the bottom third of the league, Chicago is desperate for consistency—and Assad, despite recent starter struggles, remains a reliable arm with a solid career ERA. The move comes as Boyd remains sidelined and Cabrera’s shaky outing adds to the chaos. This is a last-ditch effort to turn things around before the season slips away.
