“So far, so good.”
That’s how Cubs reliever Brandon Morrow described his health and preparation for the coming season on Monday. The 35-year-old is aiming to make his long-awaited return to a big-league mound, hopefully as a member of the Cubs’ Opening Day roster.
Morrow has been sidelined since July 2018 due to a series of elbow issues. The veteran right-hander underwent a debridement procedure in November 2018 and was aiming to be healthy by Opening Day 2019.
That return never came to fruition: Morrow suffered several setbacks in his rehab before the Cubs shut him down in August.
