Next steps are up for Cody Bellinger (knee) and Brad Boxberger (forearm) in their respective rehabs, and hey, maybe they can share a flight.
The two are headed to Arizona to work at the Cubs’ facilities before heading out on a minor league rehab stint:
Looking forward to both guys coming back, though you do wonder if it’ll be too little, too late as far as staving off a sell-off is concerned. Which isn’t to say there wouldn’t still be value in each of the two coming back healthy and playing very well over the course of the ensuing month. (Sigh.)
Let’s set that aside for now and just say: keep on progressing, gents, and hopefully they’ll be back soon.
