Rahimi & Grote Show · Vinnie Duber talks Cubs' health woes, doubleheader sweep of Mets (Hour 2) · 25 Jun 2026 podcast

But I mean, I think through the entire stretch here where the Cubs bats kind of cooled off, you've got Dansby and a lot of other players saying that, you know, the work hasn't changed, but it's just nice to finally start seeing some results.

And like I said, they really needed them.

And boy, did they kind of come in a big way, certainly yesterday and really the last week or so for Swanson.

Oh, we'll find out, I guess, in terms of limitations.

I think, though, when you're talking about Boyd coming back and really any of the situation with these pitchers right now, and Craig Council was kind of talking about it in regard to Edward Cabrera, who then ended up, you know, kind of going on the I.L., it's about putting some of these starts together, right?

So, I mean, yeah, we can focus on today, but I mean, I think the Cubs are

focusing on the long haul with Boyd and hoping that he can come back.

And this is just a first step for him kind of on the way back to being kind of the all-star arm that he was last year.

Man, do they need him, right?

I mean, they need him to be able to kind of stabilize things a little bit here while they're dealing with so many other injuries because Cade Horton's not coming back.

You know, they're trying to figure out what a timeline might be on Ben Brown.

Justin Steele, it doesn't sound like, is going to be making any starts this year, right?

So I think that

They need Boyd to be kind of that veteran stabilizing presence at the top of the rotation.

And today is just going to be the first step in getting him back to that place because he hasn't pitched in a long time.

And so it's going to take a while for him to get back to kind of the rhythm of being a big league pitcher again.

Yeah, I mean, we heard Jed Hoyer talk last week about how, you know, you can't just kind of step right back into it.

It's not like you're off the aisle and everything is magically back to the way it was before.

It's about kind of getting back to it.

So if the inning count is only four, I don't think that would be surprising, but we're going to find out when we see Boyd finally get back on the Hill tonight.
