After his latest rehab outing, the Chicago Cubs could be getting closer to having their ace back in their rotation.
Despite tons of injuries to their starting pitching staff and impact players throughout their lineup, they sit with an 18-12 record andJust imagine what they could do if they had all their players.
That might be coming soon as their ace continues to work his way back from the hamstring injury he suffered on Opening Day. The Cubs certainly are looking for another elite arm in their rotation to pair with Shota Imanaga, who has just been sensational in his rookie year. Because of the injury to Justin Steele and then Kyle Hendricks, they've had to rely on many of their young arms.But, they'd love to get Steele back to stabilize this rotation.
The ace was in action during a rehab assignment with their Triple-A affiliate on Wednesday, and according to the play-by-play broadcaster for the Iowa Cubs, Alex Cohen, he had a solid outing.63 pitches, 41 strikes, 22 balls.Also got nine swings and misses.The three earned runs over just 3 1/3 innings of work might not look like he's ready to face big league hitting, but that's not the important number that stands out.
