Cubs are probably ok with going with a 4 man rotation ( Taillon Imanaga Boyd Brown) until the Milwaukee series May 2-4) because they'll have 4 days off over the next 14 games which will give every starter 4 days rest between starts.
Assad is starting his rehab assignment so he could be ready to go on May 4th when they'll need the 5th starter.
Theyre an old team offensively, talented but baseball old. 12 of 14 hitters are 30 or older, injuries and wear n tear gonna catch up to them eventually
Never is a minimal stay, maybe this could be a blessing and force Hoyer/Ricketts to make a move sooner rather then later for a quality starter.
Hopefully Steele will be back before June
15 day IL is usually a month for the Cubs.
I know it just 1 start out of every 5 games, just hope it doesn't end up where they lose the momentum they have going and end up with a losing streak.
