  • Cubs' Ethan Roberts: Returns from IL

    The Cubs reinstated Roberts (finger) from the 15-day injured list Friday.

    The right-hander has been on the shelf nearly a month due to a right middle finger laceration, but he's ready to rejoin the Cubs after a five-outing rehab assignment. Roberts has made just three appearances in the majors this year and has pitched 2.2 scoreless frames.

  • Cubs' Ethan Roberts: Closing in on return

    Roberts (finger) made the fifth appearance of his rehab assignment Wednesday with Triple-A Iowa, striking out one batter while allowing one hit and two walks over a scoreless inning.

    Roberts was placed on the 15-day injured list April 14 due to a right middle finger laceration but was cleared to head out on a rehab assignment a week and a half later. Through his five appearances, Roberts has permitted one run while posting a 5:4 K:BB across five innings. He could be a candidate to return from the IL this weekend during the Cubs' three-game series versus the Rangers.

  • Cubs' Ethan Roberts: Goes on 15-day IL

    The Cubs placed Roberts on the 15-day injured list Tuesday with an undisclosed injury.

    It's unclear what injury Roberts is dealing with, but it will cost him at least the next couple weeks of action. The right-hander has made three scoreless appearances out of the Cubs' bullpen this season.

  • Cubs' Ethan Roberts: Recalled from Triple-A

    The Cubs recalled Roberts from Triple-A Iowa on Friday, Taylor McGregor of Marquee Sports Network reports.

  • Cubs' Ethan Roberts: Returned to Triple-A

    The Cubs returned Roberts to Triple-A Iowa on Monday.

    Roberts will head back to the minors after the Cubs summoned him from Iowa to serve as their 27th man for Sunday's doubleheader versus the Guardians. The right-hander was called upon in relief in the Cubs' 6-5 loss in Game 2, retiring two of the three batters he faced while allowing a base hit.

  • Cubs' Ethan Roberts: Promoted for doubleheader

    The Cubs recalled Roberts from Triple-A Iowa to serve as the 27th man for Sunday's doubleheader against the Guardians, Jared Wyllys of AllCHGO.com reports.

    The right-hander failed to make Chicago's Opening Day roster, but he will receive a look in the majors during Sunday's twin bill. Roberts allowed six earned runs with a 6:2 K:BB over 10 big-league appearances last regular season.

  • Cubs' Ethan Roberts: Sent to Triple-A

    The Cubs optioned Roberts to Triple-A Iowa on Friday, Patrick Mooney of The Athletic reports.

    Roberts will start the 2026 season at Triple-A despite having a strong camp. The right-hander posted a 1.50 ERA and 0.93 WHIP across six innings this spring. He appeared in 10 regular-season games for the Cubs in 2025.

  • Cubs' Ethan Roberts: Heading back to Triple-A

    The Cubs optioned Roberts to Triple-A Iowa on Wednesday, Maddie Lee of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.

    Roberts' stay with the big club lasted just two days, and the right-hander didn't appear in relief in either of the Cubs' first two games of their series in Atlanta. He'll be pushed off the 28-man active roster with the Cubs bringing back Jameson Taillon (groin) from the 15-day injured list to start Wednesday's series finale.

  • Cubs' Ethan Roberts: Moving up from Triple-A

    He'll join the 26-man active roster and the bullpen as a replacement for Porter Hodge (shoulder), who landed on the 15-day injured list. Roberts previously made nine relief appearances for the Cubs back in April, allowing five runs with a 6:2 K:BB over 8.1 frames.

  • Cubs' Ethan Roberts: Recalled from Triple-A

    The Cubs recalled Roberts from Triple-A Iowa on Tuesday.

    Roberts is back in the majors after the Cubs placed Porter Hodge (oblique) on the 15-day injured list. Roberts has appeared in nine games for Chicago this season, posting a 5.40 ERA and 6:2 KBB across 8.1 innings of work out of the bullpen.

  • Cubs' Ethan Roberts: Sent down to Triple-A

    The Cubs optioned Roberts to Triple-A Iowa on Sunday.

    Roberts was recalled by the Cubs from Triple-A on April 9 and allowed just one run over his first 6.1 innings in the majors. However, the 27-year-old right-hander struggled in his last outing against the Phillies on Saturday, allowing four runs on three hits and a walk over two innings. Tom Cosgrove was recalled by the Cubs from Iowa to provide a fresh bullpen arm.

  • Cubs' Ethan Roberts: Struggles Saturday

    Roberts allowed four runs on three hits and a walk across two innings of relief in Saturday's 10-4 loss to the Phillies. He struck out one.

    Starter Ben Brown was tagged with the loss after allowing six runs in 3.2 innings, but Roberts wasn't much more effective out of the bullpen. The righty came into the contest with a tidy 1.42 ERA, which ballooned to 5.40 after Saturday's outing. Roberts should stick in a middle-relief role for the Cubs for the time being, giving him limited fantasy upside.

  • Cubs' Ethan Roberts: Summoned from Triple-A

    The Cubs recalled Roberts from Triple-A Iowa on Wednesday, Maddie Lee of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.

    He'll be joining the big club as a replacement on the 26-man active roster for left-hander Justin Steele (elbow), who was placed on the 15-day injured list. Roberts will likely work in middle relief for Chicago after getting off to a strong start to the season at Iowa, with whom he struck out seven batters while walking none over three scoreless innings between his two appearances.

  • Cubs' Ethan Roberts: Sent to Triple-A

    Roberts was optioned to Triple-A Iowa on Friday, Jared Wyllys of AllCHGO.com reports.

    Roberts finished last season in the majors but is set to begin the 2025 campaign at Triple-A. The right-hander had a 3.71 ERA, 1.54 WHIP and 26:10 K:BB across 26.2 innings for the Cubs last year.

  • Cubs' Ethan Roberts: Pitches well in relief Tuesday

    Roberts tossed two scoreless innings of relief in Tuesday's 5-0 loss to the Pirates. He allowed one hit and struck out three.

    Roberts was pulled from an appearance last week due to right ankle soreness, but he's now logged two scoreless outings since then. The righty is pitching in a low-leverage role for the Cubs and has mostly looked sharp with a 2.60 ERA and 17 strikeouts across 17.1 innings. Roberts still has a high 1.62 WHIP, however, due largely to the seven walks he's issued during his brief time in the majors this season. The 27-year-old will likely be a volatile option unless he starts to exhibit better command.

  • Cubs' Ethan Roberts: Exits appearance with injury

    Roberts was removed from an appearance versus the Pirates on Wednesday in the fourth inning with an apparent injury, Meghan Montemurro of the Chicago Tribune reports.

    Roberts retired the final batter in the bottom of the second inning and got through a scoreless third inning. However, he gave up a home run, hit a batter with a pitch and surrendered a single in the fourth before being visited by the trainer and exiting the field. It's unclear what injury he's dealing with, but the Cubs should provide an update soon. Roberts was charged with two runs over 1.1 frames before being lifted.
