The Chicago Cubs have gotten off to a rocky start this season, but the good news is there is still plenty of time to turn things around. Chicago has not started the way it had hoped, which has created early challenges. “The early part of the season has seen the Cubs stumble out of the gate.
They have lost six of their first 11 games and they are in last place in the NL Central. A poor start is not necessarily an indication that the season will turn out to be a failure, but it could be indicative of the problems that could impact the team throughout the season,” ClutchPoints’ Steve Silverman wrote. Disaster struck the Cubs’ pitching rotation when it was announced that starter Cade Horton will undergo season-ending surgery.
“Chicago Cubs starting pitcher Cade Horton will have season-ending surgery to repair damage to the ulnar collateral ligament in his right elbow, manager Craig Counsell said Tuesday,” ESPN wrote. Chicago will now evaluate every possible option to bring in another starter. There are still a few free agents available, with one notable name being Lucas Giolito.
