CHICAGO - The Chicago Cubs are likely to be without closer Brandon Morrow for the early portion of 2019 after the righty had minor surgery on his elbow last month. Morrow, 34, missed the second half of last season with a bone bruise and won't begin throwing again until around Feb. 6.
"This was a cleanup of some cartilage, done arthroscopically," Cubs President of Baseball Operations, Theo Epstein, said Thursday.
