Chicago Cubs pitcher dealing with injury early in Spring Training

MLB: Chicago Cubs at Arizona Diamondbacks

The Chicago Cubs are hoping their pitching is going to be able to put them in a great position in 2026. While Spring Training is primarily for the pitching staff to get stretched out, injuries are always a part of things. The Cubs are going to be dealing with this dilemma as well, with one of their pitchers suffering an injury. Let’s take a closer look at who it is and what it means for the team.

Jordan Wicks is dealing with a forearm injury during 2026 Spring Training

The Cubs are going to be without left-handed pitcher Jordan Wicks for some time, but are hoping it will not be for long. On Wednesday, manager Craig Counsell discussed the injury and confirmed there is no concern that the left forearm inflammation is due to any UCL concerns, which likely would have cost Wicks the entire season. Instead, the MRI revealed no elbow injury at this time, and has Chicago hoping he will be back on the mound within a few days.

Wicks has not pitched much in the majors throughout his career. He appeared in eight games for the Cubs last season out of the bullpen and was 0-1 with a 6.28 ERA and a .369 opposing batting average across 14.1 innings. He has been stretched out as a starting pitcher, but was used as a reliever last season when needed.

Wicks could be an option to make the 26-man roster out of Spring Training, making it a six-man starting rotation or be stretched out in the bullpen for long relief. Either way, do not be surprised if he is able to be a factor for the team during the 2026 season, as long as this injury is not something that will sideline him for too long. It appears the Cubs are not concerned with it, so it is likely just something from throwing a baseball for the first time in a while.
