September is less than a weekend away, which sounds crazy for many reasons. School has started back up, college football is already back, the NFL is around the corner, and the weather has begun cooling down. It’s an important time in the baseball world as well, with the pennant races officially underway. As the last month of the regular season approaches, so do the September call-ups. Each team is allowed to increase its roster to 28 active players, with a pitcher and hitter being promoted.
Although the division feels out of reach, the Cubs are indeed in a pennant race and would like maintain the top Wild Card spot at the very least.
