Enoli Paredes reflects on his transition to the Chicago Cubs after being claimed from the Milwaukee Brewers. His former teammates, including Freddy Peralta and Willy Adames, praised Cubs manager Craig Counsell, indicating he is well-regarded in the industry. Paredes, who posted a strong 1.74 ERA, is eager to contribute.

The Cubs have been adjusting their bullpen as the season winds down. Michael Busch exited a game early due to an arm injury, prompting a lineup change. Ian Happ returned to action after missing two games due to back tightness.
