Chicago Cubs fall outside top-10 in latest MLB power rankings
The Chicago Cubs have been on a bit of a roller coaster to start the 2026 MLB season. Prior to the beginning of the year, many expected the Cubs to be one of the best teams in the National League and challenge the Los Angeles Dodgers for a World Series title.
Through nine games, though, Chicago has found more questions than answers to ones they already had. Of course, anything can happen throughout the course of the remaining 153 games, but early indications are that the Cubs are going to be in for a real battle in 2026.
The Chicago Cubs fall to 11th in MLB power rankings
Before the season started, the Cubs were ranked as one of the top 10 teams in all baseball. Even after their disappointing opening series loss to the Washington Nationals, they were still considered a top-ten team.
But after they went 3-3 this week, MLB.com dropped them down to 11th in their power rankings:
“It’s been a sluggish start for the Cubbies, but the biggest news is the status of Cade Horton, who left early from Friday’s start after 17 pitches due to right forearm discomfort. Losing the second-year righty for an extended period of time would be a big blow for Chicago.”
As noted above, there is a real concern about how long starting pitcher Cade Horton will be out. While he was not named the Opening Day starter, he is one of their better pitchers. If he misses a long period of time, it will certainly affect Chicago’s ability to stay afloat in the National League Central Division.
Fortunately, Edward Cabrera has been stellar in his two starts and Matthew Boyd rebounded in his second start after struggling on Opening Day. Still, the starting rotation depth in Chicago is being challenged early.
