Cubs News
The Chicago Cubs are feeling the pinch of injuries as closer Daniel Palencia heads to the IL with elbow inflammation, further complicating a bullpen already stretched thin. Meanwhile, Edward Cabrera's struggles with velocity and command ended with him leaving the game due to a hand cramp, leaving fans anxious about his health. On a brighter note, the minor leagues are seeing some excitement, with Owen Ayers and Josiah Hartshorn shining as Players of the Week, hinting at future talent. However, questions loom over Michael Conforto's recent struggles, contrasting sharply with his earlier promise this season. As the Cubs look to build on their recent 5-4 victory over the Rockies, they must address their injury woes while harnessing the momentum from their positive run differential during the last week.
