Cubs News
The Cubs' struggles deepened today as they placed starter Jameson Taillon on the injured list with a hamstring strain, a blow to a rotation already reeling from inconsistency. This injury comes on the heels of a 2-5 stretch where the offense has managed just 2.9 runs per game, leaving Pete Crow-Armstrong and the rest of the lineup searching for answers. Adding to the turmoil, the team brought up relievers Tyler Ferguson and Ethan Roberts from Triple-A, with hopes of reigniting a sputtering bullpen. With the Rockies up next, the Cubs need to shake off this persistent cold spell and find their rhythm before falling further in the standings. The upcoming series may offer a glimmer of hope, but the team has a lot to prove if they want to turn this ship around.
