Cubs Suffer Another Devastating Injury to Starting Rotation

It’s been a few days since the last pitcher went on the injured list so you just knew another one was bound to come and this time it’s right-hander Javier Assad. Apparently the forearm strain is the signature injury for the 2024 Cubs as this is becoming a sad trend for the club this season.

Assad, 26, has been in the starting rotation since the beginning of the year and his inclusion to the starting five only happened after Jameson Taillon started the year on the injured list himself.
