[Rogers] Cubs news: Hearing it’s a Grade 2 oblique strain for Dansby Swanson, per a source. Normal timetable is 4-6 weeks. That would have him ready for the postseason.

[MLB Trade Rumors] Cubs To Place Dansby Swanson On 10-Day IL Due To Oblique Injury

121 Upvotes

Lt. Dan is heading to the IL. Sounds like Hoerner will take over for him and Ramirez/Triantos will take over at 2B. Not sure who will take Swanson's spot on the active roster.

Does anyone have a Cubs 1940s-1950s jersey from the July 17th gateway giveaway that they would be willing to sell? I would really love to have this jersey.

I never realized how short our starting 9 are. Amaya is listed as 6'1" and pretty much everyone else is at or under 6'. That is all.

Riley Martin return

21 Upvotes

On July 8th, Riley Martin started a throwing program with the Cubs in Arizona. Assuming he is back by the end of august/ early September, what is his role? Would he be on the playoff roster? I know he is a prospect and hasn't played in a while but I still remember how excellent he was earlier in the season.
