… due to the fact that the last dang thing you desire today, with 2 doubleheaders looming early next week, is for the Cubs to go down a starting pitcher. At present, Mills would now line up to take the ball in the second of those 2 doubleheader days (Wednesday).
Ideally the Cubs were just being extra mindful with Chatwood, because they had the ability to simply swap Mills in today. And ideally the Brewers spent all the time preparing for Chatwoods really different stuff!
The Cubs are beginning to feel the soft, unpleasant nibble of the injury bug.
The newest is starter Tyler Chatwood, who will not be beginning tonight. Hes been scratched due to some back tightness. It seems like hes thought about daily at the moment, and I expect well know more tomorrow.
Since of the Cubs layoff last weekend, at least they have a regular starter at the all set: Alec Mills will take the ball tonight instead. That, in turn, will leave open the possibility– nevertheless slim?– that Chatwood can simply begin tomorrow, which leaves the rotation in tact.
