The Cubs and Braves both made splashy moves for high-profile pitchers who remained unsigned a week into June, and both could factor in their current series. Dallas Keuchel was somewhat inexplicably activated for a start last week against the Nationals and he’ll face the Cubs Wednesday night at Wrigley. Craig Kimbrel has remained in Iowa to complete his tune-up, but his most recent outing should have been his last.
Craig Kimbrel just finished off an @IowaCubs 5-1 victory with a perfect 9th inning. Two strikeouts, 16 pitches and a fastball that sat 95-96 mph.
