*womp, womp*
The Cubs announced that closer Brandon Morrow has been placed on the 10-day DL, retroactive to Monday, with right biceps inflammation. No word on whether this was a result of hastily removing an article of clothing. Obviously not good news for a guy who has already been on the DL once this season and who’s got a history of various ailments over the course of his career.
This could affect the Cubs’ trade deadline strategy, as they had been tied to Zach Britton of the Orioles as a late-inning bullpen addition even with a healthy Morrow.
