The Cubs’ astonishing run of injuries continues. Just one morning after manager Craig Counsell announced that a hamstring strain was sending righty Edward Cabrera to the injured list, Chicago has now placed Ben Brown on the 15-day IL due to a neck strain. The Cubs made both of those IL placements official via a press release. In a slate of corresponding moves, they’ve recalled right-hander Gavin Hollowell from Triple-A, selected the contract of veteran right-hander Vince Velasquez from Iowa (as already reported this morning) and designated righty Eduarniel Núñez for assignment. Chicago also appointed righty Tyler Ferguson as their 27th man for today’s doubleheader.
Brown and Cabrera join Matthew Boyd, Jameson Taillon, Cade Horton and Justin Steele as rotation options on Chicago’s injured list. Horton is out for the season, and Steele isn’t expected to return as a starter; president of baseball ops Jed Hoyer stated yesterday that if Steele returns at all, it’ll likely be as a reliever late in the year.
If there’s one silver lining, it’s that Boyd is expected to be activated to start tomorrow’s game, per Marquee’s Taylor McGregor. That’ll give Counsell a rotation mix including Boyd, Shota Imanaga, Colin Rea and Javier Assad.
