Overview

  • Freddy Peralta yielded one hit over six innings in a 7-0 Game 1 win at Wrigley Field, and the scheduled nightcap was postponed to Tuesday’s day‑night doubleheader.
  • Manager Craig Counsell said Kyle Tucker will sit for multiple days to reset during a prolonged slump after an 0-for-4 opener that drew boos from home fans.
  • Before the twin bill, the Cubs recalled left-hander Luke Little, optioned Javier Assad, and added Gavin Hollowell as the 27th man, while rookie Cade Horton exited early with a blister.
  • The Red Sox signed first baseman Nathaniel Lowe, placed Rob Refsnyder on the 10-day injured list with an oblique strain, and designated Ali Sanchez for assignment as Nate Eaton was recalled with Wilyer Abreu dealing with calf tightness.
  • The Rockies logged another comeback with Antonio Senzatela firing five scoreless innings, the Yankees and Mets showed brief upticks in form over the weekend, and the A’s begin a road trip after winning eight of their last 10 away.
