The way things are going, David Ross and Marty Pevey might soon have to become co-managers of the Chicago/Iowa Cubs.
As the list of injured players grows, Ross’ daily report on their progress gets longer, and the number of healthy players he needs from Triple-A rises. Ross joked Sunday that he called Iowa manager Pevey and apologized for taking most of his team away from him.
Before Sunday’s game, the Cubs put David Bote on the 10-day IL with a dislocated left shoulder and selected Sergio Alcantara from Iowa. Trevor Williams, slated to start Monday’s game against the Padres, had an appendectomy Sunday morning and is out indefinitely.
