Cubs add 2 more pitchers to injured list with Ben Brown, Edward Cabrera

The Chicago Cubs faced further challenges as pitchers Ben Brown and Edward Cabrera were placed on the injured list. Cabrera strained his left hamstring/adductor during a game against the New York Mets, while Brown is dealing with a neck strain. Brown has been a key player for the Cubs, boasting a 4-2 record with a 1.85 ERA. Despite these setbacks, the Cubs are set to welcome back Matthew Boyd, who will fill Brown’s spot in the rotation after recovering from a left meniscus injury. The team is also hopeful about Jameson Taillon’s recovery from a strained left hamstring. However, Cade Horton is out for the season following Tommy John surgery, and Justin Steele remains on the 60-day injured list. These injuries highlight the Cubs’ ongoing struggles with maintaining a healthy pitching roster. QUESTION: How might the Cubs’ current injury challenges impact their performance and strategy for the rest of the season?
