Cubs Pitchers Edge Closer to Return | MLB News

Cubs pitcher Edward Cabrera is making steady progress in his recovery from a June leg injury, now ramping up throwing intensity and even doing field agility drills — a bright spot for the injury-riddled roster. Meanwhile, Jameson Taillon is nearing a return after a rehab start, with the team weighing whether to pitch before or after the All-Star break. Cabrera’s timeline includes a bullpen session before the break, followed by live BP and a minor league rehab assignment.
