Mandatory Credit: Rick Scuteri-Imagn Images<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>The Athletic&#8217;s Jim Bowden <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/athletic\/7116070\/2026\/03\/24\/mlb-starting-rotation-ranking-2026-opening-day\/\">ranked all the starting pitching rotations<\/a> ahead of the 2026 season. For the Cubs, they are 12th on this list. The team made an addition with the trade for Edward Cabrera in the offseason. However, the team is sandwiched between the Cincinnati Reds and Baltimore Orioles. Below is what Bowden wrote regarding the Cubs&#8217; starting rotation:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;The Cubs&#8217; biggest offseason trade netted them Edward Cabrera, giving Chicago a well-balanced group of starters. Cade Horton was arguably the best pitcher in the National League from the end of July on last season, while Matthew Boyd was dominant for most of the season before fading a bit the last two months. Shota Imanaga and Jameson Taillon are solid mid-rotation starters.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The key to this year&#8217;s staff could be the return of Justin Steele, who is rehabbing following elbow surgery. He always seems to be in the mix for the ERA title when healthy. I really like the upside of Horton and Cabrera, the stability of Boyd and the fact that Taillon and Imanaga can keep them in games.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>It appears that the lack of starting pitching depth is a concern for Bowden, as he only lists six starting pitchers on the roster. The team has Matthew Boyd, Cade Horton, Shota Imanaga, Edward Cabrera, and Jameson Taillon <a href=\"https:\/\/www.chicitysports.com\/chicago-cubs-2026-opening-day-5-man-starting-rotation-appears-set\/\">in the rotation<\/a>. The only listed depth option is Justin Steele, who is still some ways away from returning to the mound. Chicago was best in baseball in starter WHIP (1.14) and BB\/9 (2.26) in 2025, so they have great expectations going into 2026. It will be intriguing to see how the team&#8217;s starting pitching looks as the season begins.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Chicago Cubs have a strong starting pitching rotation entering the 2026 season.
