Scouting Report: Chris Okey
Chicago Cubs | C
Overall
Summary
Chris Okey is currently recovering from a shoulder impingement that has sidelined him since April 15, 2026. During his Triple-A rehab assignment at Round Rock on May 13, he struggled significantly, allowing 4 runs on 4 hits in 2/3 innings with 2 home runs, both on his splitter. This continues a concerning trend from his early season performance where opponents hit .667 against his splitter with a 1.000 slugging percentage and zero whiffs. His splitter, which was a plus-3 run value pitch last season with a 25% putaway rate, has become a liability. He posted a 7.11 ERA in his first 8 games before the injury.
Strengths
- Physically felt good during rehab appearance
- Veteran pitcher with prior success as high-leverage reliever
