The Chicago Cubs are dealing with another wave of injury setbacks as the roster continues to take hits heading into the All-Star break. The pitching staff in particular has been hit hard, with Jameson Taillon expected to miss time, while Porter Hodge, Hunter Harvey, Shelby Miller, and Riley Martin are all on the injured list. The rotation depth has also taken a blow with Cade Horton sidelined, and Matthew Boyd’s situation further complicates the Cubs’ pitching plans, as well as Daniel Palencia. With so many arms unavailable and timelines stretching deeper into the season, Chicago is being forced to lean heavily on organizational depth at a critical point in 2026.
