Chicago Cubs news and notes — Cabrera, Happ, Moncada, Rea

Edward Cabrera started against the Angels’ Ryan Johnson, a comparatively inexperienced player (overall #74 in the 2024 draft). Neither have pitched yet this season. The Ryan Johnson Express derailed; Cabrera was as advertised. Ian Happ homered. What did I tell you?

Ryan will have better days. Dansby Swanson got his first hit of the season off Johnson. By that point, it was 6-0. Yoan Moncada clouted one for the Angels’ runs.

Matt Shaw is going to see more time in right, I suspect. Dylan Carlson might see a few at-bats, too, if Conforto continues to slump.

Cubs 7, Angels 2.
