Torn meniscus for Strop. Out 4-6 weeks. Time for Edwards to nail down that 7th inning slot.

  1. Chicago Bears

The bottom of the order for the Cubs looks a bit weak.

One of the underrated reasons you trade for Chapman is this Strop injury. Sure you're probably fine if Strop/Rondon stay healthy and productive but if either guy falters, what do you do then? Hope Edwards is ready for the 8th? Go situational with Wood/Grimm if Edwards isn't there? I mean I like Torres and McKinney as prospects and felt Warren was going to turn a corner here but I also realize that Torres and McKinney are highly redundant players here long term and that getting Chapman upgrades your today team while I don't see a large cost of future team(s).

The way I see this, as soon as Lester is coming out, bam, Contrares pinch hits for Ross, Baez pinch hits for Lester, Baez goes to third, Bryant to left, late innings you have got top to bottom hitters with Soler to hit in the 7th spot for the pitcher late.

Outside of Riz and KB, this offense is blah and not consistent.

Heyward can't even get a hit that results in a run scored

2 out infield hit

Now it up to. 190 hitting Cogs

That when you know your team having a special year..

Even Martinez cutting ball off, might had chance to get Rizzo at plate

Cards bullpen hasn't been great. Martinez is already at 108 pitches. Wouldn't call things yet.
