The Cubs are approaching a favorable stretch in their schedule, starting with the City Series against the struggling White Sox. Cade Horton will make his MLB debut as the series begins. Following this, the Cubs will have an extended road trip and face weaker teams like the Rockies. Ian Happ has been placed on the injured list due to an oblique strain and will focus on recovery while maintaining conditioning. Updates on both teams will be provided weekly by Tribune baseball writers.
"It made sense to not play for the next couple of days and see if we could get to a place where it was playable and not something that was going to get worse," Happ said.
"It didn't feel like it was something that you could play through and so ultimately we made a decision that made the most sense."
"Happ's oblique bothered him the most when attempting to swing. He felt he couldn't use his typical swing movement."
