Medical staff is incompetent apparently. And if he was hurt why was he pitching? Same with Tuck.

[Rex Buckingham]

Cubs medical staff is like every authoritarian state-run media. "Everything is fine, trust us."

Taillon is pitching today so he'd have to be lined up for Game 3 at this rate unless this is just the equivalent of a bullpen session.

How did he brake his rib?

Didn’t they change their medical staff this offseason?

Choose 2 of them. The series won’t be going to a 3rd game.

Baseball is a crapshoot and the Cubs wouldn’t be the first team to lose an ace and get far in the playoffs. Not that I’m overly high on their chances but this alone doesnt doom them. 

[soccer10k]

LOL. Another fine job by our medical staff.

[cl smooth]

How long is he out for?

[UMFan83]

I imagine rib fractures take more than 15 days but in case it’s one of those things where it’s fine after a short rest, his earliest return date puts him roughly game 4 of the NLDS. 

[Geographyhater8888]

Is his back feeling better at least?

[Tangled Up in Plaid]

Chris Sale broke a rib earlier this year and was out a couple months. 

[JHBulls]

I really wasn’t expecting to hear that Seiya has only hit 3 HR’s in his last 63 games considering he’s hit 30 for the year. 

[chibears55]

Lmao, so it went from a sore back to where they had hoped he slept on it wrong to rib fracture 😅

Who do they think they're hiding medicals from that they don't want to know that their players are seriously hurt

[cubfansince77]

Reminds me of many years ago when Sammy wrenched his back sneezing...just s.hit luck obviously

[UMFan83]

Out of curiosity did they need to put him on the IL? Couldn’t they have just not named him to the NL WC roster? At least gives the option of putting him on the NLDS roster if he’s feeling better in a week. 

I guess the answer is likely that there’s no chance that he’s healthy in a week but either way seems unnecessary to put him on the IL when they can simply just not add him to the roster unless I’m missing something.
