Last season, the Chicago Cubs were the only big league team to avoid any COVID-related IL trips. But after bullpen coach Chris Young tested positive for the virus this week, three relievers – Brandon Workman, Jason Adam and Dan Winkler are on the COVID injured list and are quarantining away from the team.

“The guys have been pretty diligent about wearing their mask,” Cubs skipper David Ross said. “We’re hoping for the best, but we’re also planning for the worst. I think that’s just the way you have to kind of have that mindset in this time we’re in right now.
