Cubs face pitching crisis with injuries to multiple starters

The Chicago Cubs are struggling with their pitching depth after several injuries to key players. Starting pitcher Matthew Boyd has been sidelined with injuries since April, while Cade Horton is out for the season due to elbow surgery. Edward Cabrera also faces recurrent injuries, contributing to the Cubs' mounting challenges on the mound. Only Shota Imanaga and Jameson Taillon have been consistent starters, but both are struggling with home runs allowed. As Chicago's rotation faces uncertainty, they look for contributions from younger talent, including Ben Brown, who has shown promise in the rotation.
