At least they finally know what's wrong with Darvish. That had to suck.

I think Murphy is mainly tied to Russell I don't think it's at all tied to KB like he had a setback or anything.

Agreed. I'd rather it be something than him just being a weirdo or a flake. If he's hurt, then nothing anyone can do about it until he heals up. At least I can respect that. A pretty strange ordeal though.

Now Morrow is getting more tests. I'm officially worried about that one. Sounds like Bryant is getting closer though.

I never trusted him to log a full season from the time he was signed. Last year was an anomaly in that he was somewhat durable. A bonafide, but slightly overpaid closer might be a nice August waiver-trade situation.

Hopefully we've learned our lesson about signing pitchers tainted by the Dodgers.

Yeah injuries were always the question for him because when he's out there he's as good as anyone.

Chatwood to the DL with "hip tightness." That's a 'we need your roster spot'/healthy scratch if ever I saw one.

David Bote joins Kris Bryant and Gabby Hartnett as the only Cubs rookies with multiple walk-off homers. Bryant and Hartnett should be happy to even be mentioned in the same sentence as Bote if you ask me.

I think I heard that Kris Bryant is on a rehab assignment...finally. But, I've heard zilch about Brandon Morrow. Not good. Can you believe he's been out going on 2 months now? He might be on the Yu Darvish plan for the rest of the season.
