Summary
The Cubs’ playoff push just got a major blow as ace pitcher Ben Brown is ruled out for the rest of the season after his neck injury flared up again — despite showing signs of recovery. Brown, who was dominating with a 1.85 ERA and 65 strikeouts in 68 innings before going down, now leaves a huge void in the rotation. With the team already struggling lately (6-10 over their last 10 games) and nine games behind Milwaukee in the division, this news adds pressure as they head into a crucial series finale and then a road trip to Miami.
