Chicago Cubs: With back ailing Duensing, others could capitalize

If you’ve read anything that I’ve written, you know I’m a guy who fears back issues. After having my own, anytime I see one of the Chicago Cubs with one, I cringe. It’s might be fleeting, but there’s always that chance it could linger. Now, left-handerBrian Duensing can be added to the group that’s had issues this spring.

Many feel that Duensing had the inside track on making the roster out of the bullpen. He may still, but not if this back issue lingers with him. He’s missed some time to injury before, including two weeks in 2015 with an intercostal strain.
