Chicago Cubs, Craig Counsell

The Chicago Cubs are coming off a week where they had a bit of a downturn. With injuries and going 3-3 through their six games, the Cubs are looking to turn around a slow start to the 2026 season. The team needs to figure out how to survive injuries to the pitching staff and get some more wins. One outlet released its power rankings following the first full week of MLB action. Where do the Cubs rank on this list?

The Chicago Cubs fall to 13th in Bleacher Report’s latest power rankings

Joel Reuter of Bleacher Report released his MLB power rankings on Monday afternoon. The Cubs saw a bit of a dip as they went from sixth place in the first power rankings to now being 13th. Below is what Retuer wrote regarding the team:

“The Cubs were dealt a blow when Cade Horton exited his second start with forearm discomfort, which can often be a precursor to Tommy John surgery. Swingman Colin Rea will bridge the gap for the time being, but Horton has legitimate ace-caliber upside and will be missed. That makes the 11.2 innings of scoreless ball that Edward Cabrera has twirled even more important.”

Luckily for the Cubs, this was released before it was announced that Matthew Boyd would also head to the 15-day Injured List. The Cubs were the final team on tier three. Below is the full list of tier three teams in order from their spot in the power rankings:

  • Cincinnati Reds
  • Houston Astros
  • Miami Marlins
  • Arizona Diamondbacks
  • Chicago Cubs

Chicago has a three-game road series against the Tampa Bay Rays before a day off on Thursday. They head back home for a three-game series against the Pittsburgh Pirates. It will be interesting to see with a banged-up starting pitching rotation if Chicago can get back into the tier two list.
