Injuries kept Rex Brothers on and off of major-league rosters for the last six years, but in his second season with the Cubs, he feels like he’s back on track.
Not just because he’s healthy again, but because he has a different perspective on being a major-league pitcher. Much of this has come from the birth of his twin sons three years ago.
“They went through quite the battle in the NICU in 2018,” Brothers said. “Since then, it’s been a lot easier to keep baseball where it needs to be.”
Cubs manager David Ross is learning from Brothers, too.
