Charles Barnes: Breaking News

Booted off 40-man roster

The Cubs designated Barnes for assignment Wednesday. The move to DFA Barnes comes after Matthew Boyd (knee) was placed on the 15-day injured list and with Trent Thornton's contract being selected from Triple-A Iowa. Barnes has spent most of the 2026 season in Triple-A but made an appearance for the Cubs on April 13 against the Phillies, when he allowed four runs (three earned) on four hits and three walks while striking out one batter across three innings. Across six appearances in Triple-A this season (three starts), Barnes has a 3.74 ERA, 1.27 WHIP and 23:11 K:BB across 21.2 innings.

Back to Triple-A

The Cubs optioned Barnes to Triple-A Iowa on Monday. Barnes was called up for the second time of the season Sunday, but he did not pitch in the Cubs' 6-0 loss to the Dodgers. The Cubs reinstated Phil Maton (knee) from the 15-day injured list Monday, and the big club will send Barnes back to Triple-A, where he has appeared in five games (two starts) with a 3-0 record and a 3.24 ERA, 1.36 WHIP and 19:8 K:BB across 16.2 innings.

Returns to majors

The Cubs recalled Barnes from Triple-A Iowa on Sunday. The left-hander was demoted nearly two weeks ago but is now back in the majors with Riley Martin (elbow) heading to the injured list. Barnes allowed three runs on four hits with one strikeout and three walks over three innings during his lone big-league appearance this year.
