Gavin Hollowell Recalled by Chicago Cubs on May 5, 2025

Hollowell joins the Cubs bullpen ahead of their game against the San Francisco Giants at Wrigley Field. In the 2025 regular season, he has pitched 2 innings with a 0.00 ERA and a 9.00 K/9 rate. This move follows his earlier recall on April 22, 2025.

Ryan Pressly, the closer, remains at the top of the bullpen depth chart. Other bullpen members like Julian Merryweather and Caleb Thielbar might see shifts in their roles. The Cubs' starting lineup for the upcoming game includes Ian Happ and Kyle Tucker, both key players for the team's offense.
