@IllumiUtee @TTU_Baseball Usually there is a 10 run rule after 7 in the Big 12

I thought the first time I would be mentioned on Chicago Cubs channel would be when Brandon makes his debut. (We know that will happen soon enough) Thank you @voiceofcohen2 and @LanceBroz for the shout out as our family navigates through this. Thank you everyone!

My dad’s surgery went well! Currently recovering and getting back to normal! If you can or you feel it in your heart he could really use your help with his medical bills and future chemotherapy sessions! Thank you! https://t.co/AmRaA3z6rl

Good to see @little_bird34 starting to throw as part of his rehab! Brandon will probably be out all year but he’s been a top pitching prospect in the Cubs system. #Cubs #ST2026

[lhguitardude @DougBirdsell]

@niren23 @TommyBirch So was Cade Horton and Jaxon Wiggins!

[Jason Kempf @jkempradio]

The @IowaCubs play their first game following the all-star break on @WatchMarquee tonight at 7:00 p.m. Adding more intrigue to the contest is the return of pitcher Brandon Birdsell. Last year's Cubs MiLB Pitcher of the Year will start on the mound against Columbus.

[Greg Huss @OutOfTheVines]

The Cubs are gonna add some rotation depth right around the trade deadline, with Brandon Birdsell bumping back up to Triple-A, likely next week. Now fully healthy, he’ll be ramped up north of 80 pitches during his starts in Iowa.

[South Bend Cubs @SBCubs]

It's rehab start vs rehab start tonight in Appleton 💪

@Cubs top pitching prospect Brandon Birdsell makes his second 2025 appearance with the #SBCubs, while @Brewers lefty Nestor Cortes goes for the @TimberRattlers!

👀KB. Proud of you

[Rich Biesterfeld @biest22]

Pitcher @little_bird34 throwing live BP on Friday afternoon at Sloan Park. Brandon had an injury in ST so it's great to see him back on the mound. He's initially targeted for the @IowaCubs rotation but could also help the @Cubs later this season. #Cubs #CubsProspects

[Rich Biesterfeld @biest22]

On the comeback trail! @little_bird34 throwing live BP this afternoon! @Cubs @WatchMarquee #Cubs #CubsProspects
