We’re just weeks from Opening Day – and the Chicago Cubs are beginning to see a 25-man roster take shape down in Arizona. One of the guys who will undoubtedly play a critical role this year, but will not open the year on the active roster? Closer Brandon Morrow, who is working back from injury.
We learned in recent days the Cubs hope Morrow will throw his first bullpen session post-surgery in the days leading up to Opening Day. This could, in theory, put him on track for a return to the mound sometime in April, if all goes well.
