Season summary

February

• February 19 – The Cubs announced that Shota Imanaga would be the Opening Day starter.
• February 28 – The Cubs announced that Nico Hoerner would not make the trip to Japan for the season opener as he was still recovering from surgery performed near the end of the prior season. ^[13]

March

• March 18 – The Cubs opened the season with a two-game series in Tokyo, Japan against the defending World Champion Los Angeles Dodgers. The games were played at Tokyo Dome. ^[14] Shota Imanaga pitched four scoreless innings, but walked four. Miguel Amaya doubled in the second to give the Cubs a 1–0 lead. Ben Brown relieved Imanaga in the fifth and promptly gave up three runs. The Dodgers added an insurance run in the ninth as the Cubs lost 4–1. ^[15]
• March 19 – In game two in Tokyo, Justin Steele allowed five runs in four innings of work. Kyle Tucker drove in his first run as a Cub on bases loaded walk in the third, while Ian Happ and Dansby Swanson each drove in a run. However, it was not enough as the Cubs allowed three homers in the game and lost to the Dodgers 6–3. ^[16]
• March 27 – The Cubs returned to the United States to face the Arizona Diamondbacks in Phoenix for game three on the season on March 27. Miguel Amaya doubled twice and drove in five runs while Ian Happ homered and drove in three runs. Justin Steele allowed three runs in five innings of work to earn the win. The Cub bullpen allowed three runs, but it was enough as the Cubs held on to win 10–6, marking their first win of the season. ^[17]
• March 28 – In game two against the D-Backs, Jameson Taillon allowed six runs in six innings. The Cub offense only managed one run as the Cubs were blown out 8–1. ^[18]
• March 29 – Shota Imanaga allowed one run in seven innings of work and left with a 3–1 lead on Kyle Tucker's first homer as a Cub. Matt Shaw added a pinch-hit homer in the eighth, his first career home run, as the Cubs went to the ninth leading 4–1. New closer Ryan Pressly gave up a two-run homer in the ninth and Arizona had the tying run at second before Dansby Swanson made a great defensive play to end the game. The win moved the Cubs to 2–3 on the season. ^[19]
• March 30 – In the finale of the series in Arizona, Matthew Boyd threw five scoreless innings. Dansby Swanson, Seiya Suzuki, and Kyle Tucker homered for the Cubs to give them a 6–2 lead going to the bottom of the eighth. In the eighth, three Cub relievers allowed eight runs as the Diamondbacks rallied to win 10–6. ^[20]
• March 31 – The Cubs next traveled to face the Athletics for the first major league game at the A's temporary stadium, Sutter Health Park, in West Sacramento, California. Ben Brown allowed three runs in five innings of work while the Cub bullpen held the A's scoreless. That was more than enough for the offense as the Cubs scored 18 runs to win 18–3. Carson Kelly hit for the cycle, becoming the first Cub to do so since Mark Grace in 1993. Kyle Tucker had four hits including a homer as Michael Busch and Dansby Swanson also homered in the win. Busch drove in four runs while Kelly drove in five in the win. The win moved the Cubs to 3–4 on the season. ^[21]

April

• April 1 – Justin Steele allowed four runs in 6.2 innings of work and the Cub bullpen again combined to hold the A's scoreless. Seiya Suzuki hit a three-run homer in the first and Kyle Tucker added a solo shot in the third, his fourth straight game with a home run. Justin Turner got his first hit as a Cub and drove in a run as the Cubs beat the A's 7–4. Ryan Pressly allowed one hit in the ninth, but held on to earn his second save of the season. ^[22]
• April 2 – In the finale of the series against the A's, Seiya Suzuki homered twice and drove in five runs. Matt Shaw had two hits and drove in two runs as the Cubs won again 10–2. Jameson Taillon allowed two runs in six innings and the Cub bullpen again did not allow a run for the win. The Cubs moved to 5–4, the first time over .500 on the season. ^[23]
• April 4 – After an off day, the Cubs had their home opener at Wrigley Field against the undefeated San Diego Padres. Shota Imanaga pitched 7.1 innings of scoreless ball while Justin Turner and Nico Hoerner drove in a run to give the Cubs a 3–1 lead in the ninth. Ryan Pressly allowed two baserunners, but was able to get out of the jam without allowing a run as the Cubs won. Ian Happ had two hits and scored two runs in the win. ^[24]
• April 5 – In game two against the Padres, Carson Kelly homered and drove in four runs while Matthew Boyd threw six scoreless innings. The Cub bullpen gave up only one run as the Cubs won their fifth straight game 7–1. ^[25]
• April 6 – In the finale of the three-game series, the Cubs took a 7–3 lead after two innings on the strength of a Kyle Tucker home run. However, the Cub offense failed to add on and the Padres tied the game in the eighth. In the ninth, an error by first baseman Justin Turner allowed the go-ahead run to score as the Cubs lost 8–7.
