The Chicago Cubs are dealing with a whole host of injuries to key players right now – particularly in the bullpen (Kimbrel, Kintzler, Cishek … Morrow?) – but there are some updates, and, for the most part, they’re the kind that’ll bring a tentative smile to your face.
Unfortunately it’s not a uniformly positive update. There is an exception. And I think you already know who it is.

Maddon reports Contreras is progressing well but still needs to address more specific strength work right now (on right hamstring). Maddon also said about $60K was raised through his golf tournament yesterday for Hazleton Integration Project.
