Episode Description from the Publisher

The Chicago Cubs are facing a full-blown pitching crisis as Justin Steele suffers a major rehab setback with a flexor strain, landing on the 60-day IL and delaying his return even further. The injuries don’t stop there — Cade Horton is out for the season after Tommy John surgery, while multiple arms like Riley Martin, Caleb Thielbar, and Porter Hodge continue to thin out the bullpen. With Daniel Palencia still working his way back, the Cubs are running out of reliable options fast. Can Chicago survive this brutal stretch of injuries, or will the front office be forced to make a major move?    Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
