"The Cubs' slow start has been compounded by the loss of two starting pitchers, but there's a sense that their luck has to turn around at some point."
"Cade Horton is seeking a second opinion after the results from his MRI were apparently not good. Then there's Matthew Boyd, who already needs a two-week vacation because he wasn't bouncing back well from some bicep irritation."
"Assad got the call from Iowa to fill in for Boyd, so this will be his first MLB appearance of the season after mixed results in two outings at Triple-A."
"Much of their potential output has been hampered by misfortune, with hard-hit balls finding gloves at an inordinately high rate."
The Cubs are struggling with a slow start, exacerbated by injuries to two starting pitchers. Cade Horton is seeking a second opinion on his MRI results, while Matthew Boyd is sidelined due to bicep irritation. Colin Rea and Javier Assad are stepping into significant roles. Assad's performance has been inconsistent, and the Cubs need to improve their hitting, which has been hindered by bad luck. Despite challenges, there is optimism that the team's fortunes may change soon, especially with key players like Nico Hoerner performing well.
