Cubs Given Massive Break Ahead Of Important Stretch Of Baseball

If there is one competitive baseball team that cannot seem to catch a break, it’s the Chicago Cubs. Over fifteen players have seen the injured list this season, including Justin Steele, Seiya Suzuki, Cody Bellinger, and Dansby Swanson. Kyle Hendricks’s downfall has come at an inopportune time for him and the Cubs. After a scalding hot start, the offense has cooled down at an alarming rate.

Injuries to Swanson and Nico Hoerner have left the middle of the infield without two Gold Glove Award winners.
