Summary
Ben Brown’s breakout season with the Cubs has come to an abrupt end after a neck injury forced him to shut down for the rest of the 2026 campaign. Once the team’s most dominant arm, Brown was making strides in his recovery and even threw simulated innings — but the setback proved too much. The Cubs, hoping he’d stay healthy this year, now face a major blow as they head into the final stretch. Fans will be watching closely for his comeback in 2027.
