Cubs vs Braves Preview (09/10/25): How To Watch The Chicago Cubs Game Today

The Chicago Cubs will wrap up their three-game series with the Atlanta Braves on Wednesday night at Truist Park in Atlanta.

The Cubs are taking on more injuries, as Chicago placed outfielder Kyle Tucker on the 10-day injured list on Tuesday after his injured calf didn’t react quickly enough to several days off. That balances out with the return of a starting pitcher that should give ace Shota Imanaga some support down the stretch.

The Cubs are off on Thursday and will travel back to Chicago to host the Tampa Bay Rays for a three-game series that starts on Friday at Wrigley Field. While Chicago is basically locked into a National League wild card berth, the Rays are desperate to get back into the American League wild card race.

Here is the preview for the game, with probable pitchers, how to watch and listen, injury updates and more.

Wednesday’s Probable Pitchers

Cubs: RHP Jameson Taillon (9-6, 4.15)

Taillon is expected to be activated from the 15-day injured list in advance of the game, so he’ll be making his first start since Aug. 24, after which he was placed on the IL with a left groin strain. In that last start he took the win, as he went five innings and allowed three hits and one earned run. He struck out three and walked none. He’s won two of his last three starts and is 4-3 with a 4.86 ERA in his last seven starts.

Due to another injury earlier this year, he is making just his 20th start this season. He has 81 strikeouts and 21 walks in 106.1 innings. He is allowing batters to hit .232 against him and he has a 1.08 WHIP.

Braves: LHP Chris Sale (5-4, 2.38)

A fractured left rib cage cost Sale more than two months of the season and he returned to the mound on Aug. 30 to a Braves team that was out of the playoff race. In his last start against Seattle, he pitched 6.2 innings, as he allowed four hits and one earned run. He struck out nine and walked none. In his last seven starts he is 3-1 with a 0.95 ERA, with 60 strikeouts and 12 walks in 47.1 innings.

Sale is preparing for throw his 19th start and has 132 strikeouts and 27 walks in 102 innings. Batters are hitting .225 against him and he has 1.10 WHIP.
