Scouting Report: Phil Maton
Chicago Cubs | RP
Overall
Summary
Phil Maton, signed to a 2-year, $14.5M deal with the Cubs, has struggled significantly in 2026. After returning from a knee injury (tendinitis in right knee), he showed promise with a 3.18 ERA over 6 games and a 5-game scoreless streak, but snapped that streak on May 13 against Atlanta, allowing 2 runs on 3 hits in 1 inning. His season ERA stands at 8.44 (10 ER in 10.2 IP). Key concerns include reduced velocity and flatter pitches compared to last year. Despite these setbacks, he remains a key part of the Cubs' bullpen plans.
Strengths
- Recently showed improvement with 3.18 ERA over last 6 games
- Had compiled 5-game scoreless streak before recent setback
