• Chicago Cubs Lineup (9/26/25): Tucker Returns as DH, Rea Starting
The Cubs enter the final weekend losers of six out of seven and clinging to the top Wild Card spot with a magic number of two to secure home-field advantage against the Padres.

Talk about a reversal of fortunes from one game to the next.
