The Chicago Cubs recently swept the Chicago White Sox in a three-game series, creating an opportunity to strengthen their position in the National League Central. However, injuries pose a significant challenge, especially the absence of pitcher Shota Imanaga, who has been out since May 4 due to a hamstring injury. Cubs executive Carter Hawkins emphasized the need to safely reintegrate Imanaga into the rotation, taking care to ensure his arm remains healthy and addressing the deconditioning that arises from his time off the mound. This cautious approach aims to avoid any setbacks that could affect the team's postseason aspirations.
It's a little bit different when you have a pitcher. He has to deal with getting his lower half ready ... But he also has to continue to keep his arm healthy.
We're gonna be safe with (Imanaga) for sure. But I expect that we'll get him back here soon, and I can't wait to get him back in that rotation.
