Chicago Cubs Could Get Unexpected Boost in 2026

At first, it seemed like right-handed reliever Shelby Miller was going to miss the entire 2026 season and the main reason he signed a multi-year deal with the Chicago Cubs was so he could return from rehabbing the following season. However, Miller sounds a lot more optimistic about his chances to give the Cubs a boost if needed late this year.

Miller, 35, underwent Tommy John surgery last fall, but speaking to the Chicago Tribune the veteran pitcher is eyeing a return back to the mound in 2026 with the Cubs.
