Hodge was very solid, but he didn't get much experience. The 23-year-old had a 1.88 ERA and nine saves in 43 innings of work. Source: https://www.sportingnews.com/us/mlb/chicago-cubs/n... |

| 7/21/24 | The recovery of these two Chicago Cubs pitchers will be key in second half. With it looking more and more likely that the Chicago Cubs will be sellers at the Major League Baseball Trade Deadline, the Cubs would be wise to use the rest of the 2024 season as a way to map out the certainties and question marks on the roster heading into the offseason. Specifically, the Cubs have to determine the path forward for their starting rotation and bullpen. Adbert Alzolay and Ben Brown are two pitchers who will be key in planning the pitching staff for next season. Where the Cubs erred with Alzolay is using a two-month stretch during the 2023 season as validation that he was the unquestioned closer heading into the 2024 season.

| 5/09/24 | Chicago Cubs Proposed Pitch Lands Closer From Biggest Rival. Despite the encouraging start for the Chicago Cubs, sitting at 22-16, there are areas the front office will need to address before the deadline.

| 5/06/24 | Brewers Use Discretion with Stolen Bases. Baserunning was one of the major differences in the Brewers' lone win over the Cubs in their weekend series, and it certainly wasn't the first time this season where they have used their team speed to push the envelope in a close game. The Brewers trailed 1-0 in the top of the eighth inning when four consecutive batters singled, then stole second base off Cubs reliever Adbert Alzolay and catcher Miguel Amaya. The group that did it included noted speedster Jackson Chourio, but also a pair of below average runners in Jake Bauers (who Baseball Savant has in the 12th percentile for baserunning value) and William Contreras (first percentile).
