Cubs Seek Wins Against Struggling Rockies to Cap Road Trip
30 Aug
Summary
- Cubs wrap up 3-city, 10-day road trip against Rockies
- Injuries to Taillon and Soroka open rotation spot for Assad
- Rockies rookie pitcher Brown to make Coors Field debut
As of August 30th, 2025, the Chicago Cubs are wrapping up a 3-city, 10-day road trip, with their final stop coming against the Colorado Rockies at Coors Field. The Cubs are looking to bounce back after a series sweep at the hands of the San Francisco Giants earlier this month.
The Rockies, who currently have the worst record in baseball, present an opportunity for the Cubs to rack up some much-needed wins before returning to Wrigley Field. However, the Cubs are dealing with their own injury concerns, as starting pitcher Jameson Taillon was placed on the 15-day injured list earlier this week with a left groin strain.
To fill the void in the rotation, the Cubs are turning to Hayden Assad, who returned from the IL earlier this month after missing most of the season with an oblique injury. Meanwhile, the Rockies are calling up rookie pitcher Zach Brown to make his MLB debut at Coors Field, a daunting task for the young hurler.
As the Cubs look to secure a playoff berth for the first time since their 2020 NL Central division title, this series against the struggling Rockies could provide a much-needed boost heading into the final stretch of the season.
