Three up, three down: An update on the Cubs, May 5 edition

Al Yellon created Bleed Cubbie Blue and has been its managing editor since 2005. His latest book about the Cubs is "Chicago Cubs Firsts." Find him on Bluesky at @bleedcubbieblue.bsky.social

We don’t yet know what will happen with Shu014dta Imanaga, who will have an MRI today to determine the damage to his left hamstring. At that point we’ll know more about how long the Cubs will miss him.

You know, this team does have some depth. When they lost Justin Steele for the season, Colin Rea stepped up and has been great. The Cubs could use Chris Flexen to fill in for Imanaga, or call up Cade Horton from Triple-A Iowa.
