The Cubs had to open a roster spot after acquiring Taylor Rogers from the Pirates. He could draw some interest on waivers.

Ryan Pressly earned the save after allowing no hits or walks in a perfect inning during Thursday's victory against the Pirates.

After today’s win, Pressly holds a 3.81 ERA and 1.54 WHIP with five saves across 28 appearances this season. It has been a rough season for Pressly, who was at his worst after an eight-run, no-out outing on May 6. Since then, he has pitched 13 innings, allowing no runs while striking out 11 and walking three. Daniel Palencia worked the eighth inning while Pressly got the save. The former had been getting the bulk of the opportunities, but took the loss on Monday. It's anyone's guess who gets the next save opportunity in Chicago.

Cubs manager Craig Counsell told reporters Ryan Pressly was unavailable on Wednesday against the Dodgers.

Fantasy Impact

Pressly had his right knee drained earlier this week which is why Porter Hodge got the save opportunity. It sounds like Pressly is considered as day-to-day.

Ryan Pressly (2-1) was awarded the win Friday against the Diamondbacks after pitching a scoreless ninth inning, allowing one hit and striking out none. Although Ethan Roberts pitched the eighth inning when the Cubs took the lead (allowing six runs), the official scorer credited the win to Pressly.

Fantasy Impact

Pressly continues to operate in high-leverage spots for the Cubs, now holding a 2-1 record with four saves and one hold. Through 10 innings, he possesses a 2.70 ERA and 1.80 WHIP.

Ryan Pressly pitched a perfect inning with one strikeout in Tuesday’s narrow victory over San Diego.

Fantasy Impact

Pressly continues to find his rhythm in middle relief, now holding a 3.00 ERA and 1.89 WHIP with four strikeouts across nine innings. He’s still working back into a trusted late-inning role but can be a stash in leagues that reward holds or deeper bullpen usage.
