President of baseball operations Jed Hoyer expressed his hope that the Cubs team’s resiliency will be a defining trait this season. Despite facing challenges such as injuries, blown leads, an overworked bullpen, and a lengthy road trip, Hoyer commended the team for demonstrating a strong mental attitude. The Cubs’ defense has stabilized, and their offense is beginning to find its rhythm after a 5-4 outing on their West Coast road trip.
Third baseman Patrick Wisdom made a comeback from a back injury, showcasing his versatility in the lineup. Manager Craig Counsell announced that Wisdom will primarily face left-handed pitching but will be utilized across multiple positions. Additionally, injury updates on pitcher Justin Steele and outfielder Ian Happ were provided, with both players progressing in their recovery process.
Hoyer highlighted the significance of winning series and persevering through challenges, emphasizing the team’s potential for success. The Cubs’ recent performances have shown promise, with players like Wisdom stepping up to contribute to the team’s goals. The focus now shifts to maintaining momentum and overcoming obstacles as the season progresses.
