The Cubs had to navigate a litany of injuries in the rotation and bullpen this season. A handful of trade deadline acquisitions added an extra wrinkle to managing the staff.
The Chicago Cubs are expected to retain pitching coach Tommy Hottovy and assistant pitching coach Casey Jacobson for the 2027 season, according to The Athletic. Both coaches managed an ever-changing staff throughout a campaign heavily disrupted by injuries across both the starting rotation and the bullpen.
Hottovy has served as the Cubs' pitching coach since 2019, working under managers Joe Maddon, David Ross, and Craig Counsell. Jacobson has held his assistant role for two seasons. The pitching staff endured severe injury setbacks to key pitchers including Justin Steele, Cade Horton, and Porter Hodge.
