## Resource

The Cubs are in a pitching crisis, scrambling to find reliable starters as injuries pile up and David Peterson’s shaky performance—highlighted by a brutal 10-run outing against the Cardinals—keeps fans on edge. Despite a bright spot with a scoreless 6.2-inning gem against the Tigers, Peterson faces a high-stakes test against the Yankees. With the trade deadline looming, Chicago’s fate hinges on finding arms to stabilize their rotation before August 3rd.
