Cubs promote B.J. Murray and Tyler Ferguson for postseason push

The Chicago Cubs added infielder B.J. Murray and right-handed pitcher Tyler Ferguson to the active roster as major league teams expanded to 14 pitchers on September 1. Murray provides infield depth, offering versatility at first base, third base, and left field while allowing the team to rotate regular starters like Michael Busch. Ferguson joins the bullpen to address pitching struggles and provide late-game stability. While players such as Justin Steele, Shelby Miller, and Edward Cabrera continue working toward returns, none are currently ready for major league duty. The Cubs aim to bolster their roster for the final stretch of the regular season as they compete for a Wild Card spot.
