MILWAUKEE -- Cubs manager Joe Maddon said Wednesday there is "barely" enough time to get closer Brandon Morrow ready to pitch this year. If the Cubs get to the postseason, Pedro Strop would be the primary closer, but otherwise they'll go with a group effort.
Morrow, who signed a two-year contract with the Cubs in December, has been sidelined since July 18 with right biceps inflammation and has yet to throw off a mound.
"We're very much aware of [the time]," Maddon said Wednesday.
