Drew Gray with a Cubs shove start: 3 shutout MiLB IP…Looks like he put on some good weight during TJ rehab

Keegan was pitching every 3-4 days at Iowa but hasn’t thrown in almost 2 weeks now, hmmm

It might be better than him just being bad.  Injured can be temporary, bad is, well, not good.  Between the velocity drop and ineffectiveness I almost hope there's some injury that's a rehab/rest type deal because he was such a different pitcher last year.
