Cubs Pitching Crisis Deepens

The Cubs’ pitching staff is in chaos as lefty reliever Hoby Milner, sidelined by emergency appendicitis surgery, joins a growing list of injured arms—including Cabrera, Brown, and Maton—leaving just 12 of their 40-man roster healthy. Milner, who was having a strong season with a 3.53 ERA and signed for $3.75M, is expected out four to six weeks. In a move to plug the gap, the Cubs called up Tyler Ferguson (2.70 ERA in limited action) while sending Jayden Murray down and bringing up Bryse Wilson, claimed off waivers from Philly. It’s another brutal stretch for a team already struggling with depth on the mound. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
