Cubs Turn to Wicks as Cabrera Lands on IL with Blister

The Chicago Cubs placed pitcher Edward Cabrera on the 15-day injured list with a blister on his right middle finger, a setback that will keep him out for at least a couple of weeks. Left-hander Jordan Wicks was recalled to take Cabrera’s spot and is expected to slot into the No. 5 starter role while Cabrera is sidelined. Cabrera left his most recent start vs. Milwaukee after three innings, allowing four runs (one earned) thanks in part to a pair of Cubs errors. The rotation is already dealing with injuries to Matthew Boyd, Cade Horton (out for the year), and Justin Steele (out until after the All-Star break), making Wicks’ return timely as Chicago adjusts on the fly.

"Cubs Lose Key Pitcher as Michael Fulmer Lands on 15-Day Injured List"

The Chicago Cubs have placed pitcher Michael Fulmer on the 15-day injured list due to a right forearm strain, retroactive to August 25. Fulmer's injury history raises concerns about the severity of the strain and the potential impact on his 2023 season. The move creates a roster spot for Jordan Wicks, who will make his MLB debut as a starter against the Pirates. The Cubs' bullpen is also dealing with injuries to Brad Boxberger and Nick Burdi, while Drew Smyly will provide depth as he moves back to the bullpen. Despite the pitching challenges, the Cubs remain in the playoff race.
