The Chicago Cubs bullpen will be without right-hander Codi Heuer and left-hander Brandon Hughes for the rest of the season while they recover from surgeries that could impact their start next year.

Fortunately, Heuer’s repaired ulnar collateral ligament appears to be intact. Even so, he faces another long road to recovery. This type of injury has been seen from pitchers who had Tommy John surgery. Heuer’s UCL was likely stronger than the surrounding bone, leading to the fracture.“You knew in real time that he’d done something serious,” president of baseball operations Jed Hoyer said Saturday.
Cubs relief pitcher Codi Heuer throws against the Rockies in the fifth inning of the first game of a doubleheader at Wrigley Field on Aug. 25, 2021. The Cubs envisioned Hughes being a big part of their 2023 bullpen. However, his season will be over after a distal femoral osteotomy is performed at the end of the month. Hughes is estimated to be sidelined nine months.
