Cubs face potential postseason challenges after tough September schedule

The Chicago Cubs prepare for the Wild Card Series against an undisclosed opponent in San Diego on September 29. Their end-of-season performance was marred by an 11-13 record in September, with notable losses to the Red Sox and Marlins. The team is also contending with injuries, particularly to Alex Bregman, who suffered multiple facial fractures. The Cubs have had a difficult travel itinerary, including a day game at Wrigley, a doubleheader in Boston, and an off day in Florida. Despite these challenges, the team has shown resilience throughout the season, including the emergence of players like Pete Crow-Armstrong.
