Cubs’ Pitching Puzzle in Playoffs | Chicago Cubs News

from Chicago Cubs News Today | 2 Min News | The Daily News Now!

The Cubs are juggling a pitching glut as the playoffs loom, forcing manager Craig Counsell to shuffle roles for maximum impact. With Braxton Garrett joining the bullpen and veterans like Colin Rea and Javier Assad shifting into high-leverage spots, players are embracing flexibility for a shared goal: a championship. Even injured arms like Daniel Palencia and Ben Brown are inching back toward action, while Justin Steele may soon join the bullpen rotation. Veteran Kevin Gausman reminds everyone that October demands adaptability — and with stars like Clay Holmes on deck, this depth could be the key to a deep postseason run.
