"Wiggins is currently ranked No. 2 among the Cubs' top prospects, but he should jump to the top spot as soon as Moises Ballesteros exhausts his prospect status."
"Bruce Levine reported that Wiggins is actually dealing with a sore right arm. Jed Hoyer confirmed that Wiggins is 'being backed up for now,' though exactly what that means is anyone's guess right now."
"The 24-year-old righty posted a 2.19 ERA with 97 strikeouts over 78 innings at High-A, Double-A, and Triple-A. His fastball sits around 97 mph and has touched 101."
"The Cubs have been very careful with Wiggins so far, which I am not sure is the best tack. While they don't want to push him too hard, I am growing increasingly concerned."
Jaxon Wiggins, ranked No. 2 among Cubs prospects, may soon take the top spot if Moises Ballesteros loses his prospect status. However, Wiggins is currently sidelined due to a sore right arm, raising concerns about his health. Cubs farm director Jason Kanzler mentioned a strategic approach to pitching deployment, but skepticism remains due to past injuries within the organization. Wiggins has shown impressive performance with a 2.19 ERA and 97 strikeouts over 78 innings, but his health status is critical for his future.
