Chicago Cubs update: Seiya Suzuki, Alex Bregman, Pete Crow-Armstrong

The Cubs experienced a mixed week on the field, allowing only 20 total runs while simultaneously struggling offensively with just 15 runs scored across six games. Seiya Suzuki bounced back from a difficult September by hitting .350 with a home run and a double.

Meanwhile, Alex Bregman returned from a facial fracture to post a stellar 450-plus batting average with two home runs over a pair of contests against his former team. Pete Crow-Armstrong made major history by joining the elite 40-40 club, matching Kyle Schwarber for the league lead with 45 home runs while stealing his 41st base of the season.

On the pitching side, Shota Imanaga struck out 10 batters across six innings, and Daniel Palencia consistently clocked 100 miles per hour on his fastball during a pair of scoreless relief appearances. Conversely, Dansby Swanson endured a quiet stretch at the plate as he continued working his way back from a recent oblique injury, though his defensive instincts remained sharp.
