Javier Assad is back in the Cubs’ starting rotation after a brief stint in Triple-A, and he’s been on fire since May 1st—dropping his ERA to 2.24 and WHIP to 0.995 in 17 games. With Tyler Ferguson sent down after just one shaky outing, Assad’s return could be a key boost as the Cubs aim for postseason success. Full game preview drops at 1 p.m. Central.
