It sounds like the Chicago Cubs are going to be down one of their star relievers for the rest of the season after getting some bad news.
were hoping that one of their star relievers would be back at some point this season, and preferably before the point where they have to make a decision about the direction this organization has to take ahead of the trade deadline.
Manager Craig Counsell said the right-hander "didn't get great news in terms of continuing the throwing" and that he's weighing the two choices he has to make regarding to "strengthen or consider surgical option." He first went down with a right shoulder strain and was placed on the 15-day IL back on May 11 that was retroactive to May 8. There was an expectation that the throwing program would have him back at some point in June, but when he suffered a setback, his progression stopped.Both players were expected to be major contributors for the Cubs this year, and it was looking like that would be the case for the veteran reliever as he posted a 3.45 ERA through 17 outings before he got hurt.
