Cubs' Brandon Morrow suffers back spasms while taking pants off

The Chicago Cubs are a man down just for him taking his pants down.

Closer Brandon Morrow, who has 16 saves this season, suffered back spasms while undressing after returning home from the team's trip to St. Louis early Monday morning. He was unavailable to pitch during Tuesday's doubleheader vs. the Los Angeles Dodgers.

"Just undressing at my house," Morrow told reporters on Tuesday. "Like 3 a.m., in the closet, got my right leg off. Left one just felt like a spasm in my back.

"It's frustrating any time you can't get out there, especially when you can't go because of something stupid like taking your pants off.
