Drew Pomeranz to Serve as Opener on Saturday
Chicago Cubs left-hander Drew Pomeranz will serve as the team's opener on Saturday at Wrigley Field against the division-rival St. Louis Cardinals, according to manager Craig Counsell. It's unclear who will work as the bulk reliever for the Cubbies in Game 2 of the divisional series, but it's most likely to be left-hander Jordan Wicks, who was called up from Triple-A Iowa on Friday with righty Jameson Taillon (calf) going on the 15-day injured list. In both of his opening assignments this year, Pomeranz has gone an inning apiece, so he should be avoided for fantasy purposes, even though the 36-year-old veteran has yet to allow a run in 2025 in 23 1/3 innings pitched. In addition to his 23 1/3 scoreless frames for Chicago, Pomeranz has a 0.90 WHIP, a save, 23 punchouts and seven walks.
