Rumored Cubs deadline target hits the IL with an injury that could end his season

It's rarely advisable to throw stones in a glass house, but Cubs fans may be in position to do just that following the latest injury report out of Sacramento.

As the team deals with the fallout of the Michael Soroka injury — and subsequent depth issues caused by the front office's inactivity at the trade deadline — one long rumored trade target of the Cubs has gone down with an injury of his own.

Veteran right-hander Luis Severino is heading to the 15-day injured list with an oblique strain, an injury the Cubs have become all too familiar with this year.
