Scouting Report: Ethan Roberts
Chicago Cubs | RP
Overall
Summary
RHP Ethan Roberts was reinstated from the 15-day injured list on May 10, 2026, after recovering from a right middle finger laceration sustained on April 14 during a freak workout accident. Roberts had pitched well before the injury, posting a 2.2 scoreless innings with 2 strikeouts in 3 MLB appearances. He completed a successful rehab assignment with Triple-A Iowa, appearing in 5 games and allowing just 1 run over 5.0 innings (1.80 ERA). Manager Craig Counsell praised his performance, and Roberts is expected to contribute significantly to the Cubs' bullpen as the team deals with multiple injuries to other relievers.
