MILWAUKEE - It's looking like the Chicago Cubs will be forced into a closer by committee strategy as they head toward October.
That's the vibe manager Joe Maddon gave off on Wednesday when asked if there was enough time to get ailing righthander Brandon Morrow back.
"Barely," Maddon said. "We're very much aware of that. Would love to have him back but even if he does come back how do you utilize that because you can't just push him two days in a row."
Morrow had 22 saves in the first half of the season, but the closer has been out since the all-star break with a biceps issue that isn't getting worse - but it's not getting better.
