## Resource

The Cubs’ bullpen is in crisis as two key pitchers, Shelby Miller and Riley Martin, are shut down for the season—Miller due to injury risk after Tommy John surgery, Martin because there’s not enough time to get him ready. With Ben Brown, Phil Maton, and Hunter Harvey also out, the focus shifts to Gavin Hollowell and Justin Steele in rehab. But there’s a silver lining: Dansby Swanson is expected back soon, offering much-needed defense amid the pitching woes.
