It has been an especially tough year for the Cubs on the injury front, as they have had to weather a veritable monsoon of ailments throughout the season.
But things had been trending better in that regard over the last few weeks, with multiple key players working toward a return.
And for the most part, the injury woes have hit the pitching staff, while the position player group has been largely healthy throughout the year.
Both aspects have now changed, as the Cubs were dealt a pair of injury blows Sunday against the St. Louis Cardinals and will have to spend the next few weeks trying to keep the ship afloat in the aftermath.
The Cubs made a slew of roster moves Monday afternoon, placing shortstop Dansby Swanson on the 10-day IL with a left oblique strain and right-handed pitcher Edward Cabrera on the 15-day IL with a blister on his right hand. Rookie James Triantos was also optioned to Triple-A Iowa, with Javier ******* ad, Kevin Alcántara and Owen Miller coming up from the minors.
