Cubs-Brewers Game Rained Out, Rescheduled for August Split Doubleheader

The Cubs' game against the Brewers was postponed due to persistent rain, leading to a rescheduling as a split doubleheader on August 18. This change will result in a five-game series between the two teams in August. For the Cubs, this means 14 games in a 13-day window, while the Brewers face a more grueling stretch of 19 games in 18 days. Jameson Taillon, initially set to start on Wednesday, will now pitch in the series finale on Thursday.

Additionally, the Chicago City Council has approved plans to enhance security around Wrigley Field, a move believed to address concerns that previously hindered the Cubs from hosting an All-Star Game. Commissioner Rob Manfred has identified the Cubs as a potential host as early as 2027.

Injury updates include Eli Morgan experiencing a setback in his rehab, while Shota Imanaga is progressing towards a rehab start. Porter Hodge is also making rehab appearances.
