Chicago Cubs pitcher out 8 weeks with flexor strain
The Chicago Cubs pitching staff has taken a beating this spring.
More News: Chicago Cubs pitcher named biggest newcomer impact player
The Cubs lost Cade Horton after season-ending elbow surgery. Matthew Boyd went on the injured list with a left biceps strain. Phil Maton is dealing with right knee tendonitis, Hunter Harvey is battling right triceps inflammation, Ethan Roberts has a finger laceration, Daniel Palencia has a lat strain, and Caleb Thielbar is dealing with hamstring issues.
The Cubs will be without a key pitcher for nearly two months.
On Sunday, Chicago put Riley Martin on the 15-day injured list with what they called elbow inflammation on his left side.
Per an update on Monday, Martin will be out for nearly 8 weeks with a flexor strain, per Taylor McGregor of ESPN.
Martin has appeared in eight games, one of them a start. He has a 2.16 ERA and 0.84 WHIP.
Chicago Cubs need pitching help
Martin’s untimely injury comes with the Cubs having issues keeping minor league pitchers healthy.
With the Iowa Cubs, reliever Porter Hodge is out for the year after undergoing UCL surgery. Jordan Wicks and top pitching prospect Jaxon Wiggins had to be placed on the IL with right elbow inflammation.
Amid the injuries to pitchers, the Cubs are 17-11 and one game back from the Cincinnati Reds for first place in the National League Central.
Chicago has a promising team, but the club will likely have to execute more moves to add arms to the bullpen.
The Cubs had similar injuries last year, and the extra innings pitchers had to throw caught up in the team after the All-Star break when they saw their lead in the division rapidly unwind before the Milwaukee Brewers took the crown.
Chicago will need to rely on its bats to weather these storms.
