Cubs Injury Update: Michael Soroka timeline, Miguel Amaya return, and Javier Assad

The status of Michael Soroka's throwing shoulder has suddenly become one of the biggest storylines of the Chicago Cubs' season. Which, again, speaks to how bad of a decision it was for the Cubs to think that adding Soroka to their pitching staff was the right gamble at the MLB trade deadline.

After the Cubs' loss to the Cincinnati Reds on Tuesday night, Craig Counsell revealed a preliminary timeline for when we might be able to expect the next update.

Michael Soroka will be shut down for 7-10 days, and will be re-evaluated afterwards, per Craig Counsell.
