"A lot of guys go down these days; guys get hurt, guys throw so unbelievably hard. But yeah, we'll do a deep dive and see if there's a commonality to the injuries."
"I certainly hope the pace slows, and hopefully we can...get some of these guys back and start the process of kind of rebuilding (the staff)."
"A lot of folks want to blame the trainers, the medical staff, or even VP of pitching Tyler Zombro, but the fact of the matter is that this injury epidemic is not confined to one organization."
"According to research by baseball analyst Jon Roegele, just over 39% of all MLB pitchers who appeared in a game last season had undergone at least one Tommy John surgery."
The Cubs are experiencing a surge in pitcher injuries, including Porter Hodge's UCL surgery and Jaxon Wiggins' elbow inflammation. Jed Hoyer emphasized the need for an internal review to identify common injury factors. Despite concerns about training and medical staff, the injury trend is widespread across MLB, with over 39% of pitchers having undergone Tommy John surgery. The Cubs hope to slow the injury pace and rebuild their pitching staff as the season progresses.
