Cubs bullpen chaos continues as Trent Thornton narrowly avoids a long layup after a brutal line drive off his foot — thankfully, just a few days sidelined. But the real headache? Phil Maton’s third injury this season, now sidelined three weeks with knee inflammation, adding to the growing list that includes Hoby Milner and Hunter Harvey. With the front office scrambling through trades and waiver claims — even bringing back old faces — the team’s pitching depth remains a glaring weakness. President Jed Hoyer admits the injuries have made consistency nearly impossible, and with playoff hopes still alive, the pressure mounts: will they swing for a starting ace or focus on reliable relievers before the deadline?
