Chicago Cubs (22-12), atop the NL Central on a five-game winning streak and 7-3 in their last 10, head to Globe Life Field for a four-game interleague series against the Texas Rangers (16-18) starting May 8, testing a banged-up Cubs pitching staff amid the Rangers' home advantage. Chicago's bullpen remains depleted by recent injuries to relievers Caleb Thielbar (hamstring), Phil Maton, Daniel Palencia, and Hunter Harvey on the 15-day IL, while starters like Justin Steele recover from elbow surgery; position players Dansby Swanson (ass) and Nico Hoerner (neck) are also nursing ailments. Texas counters with young ace Kumar Rocker's strong start (10 ER in five outings) potentially versus Matthew Boyd, despite their own absences like Wyatt Langford (flexor) and Cody Bradford (UCL). Momentum favors the Cubs, but bullpen depth and road travel loom large.
