The injury news was bad for the Cubs today as they announced that shortstop Ed Howard suffered a “significant” hip injury. They aren’t willing to call it season-ending yet, but it certainly has that possibility.
They also placed outfielder Brennen Davis on the IL with lower back tightness. We knew about Davis’ injury before and he had not played since May 3.
