Cubs Announced Ben Brown Update
During their series with the Royals, the Cubs announced the latest update on Ben Brown.
He has been out since June 19 with an injury.
MLB.com wrote (on August 7): “Currently rehabbing in Arizona and on target for a light mound workout in coming days. Pain-free and has resumed regular throwing, while increasing intensity and volume.”
Before getting hurt, Brown had gone 4-2 with a 1.85 ERA in 20 games.
Brown was picked in the 33rd round of the 2017 MLB Draft.
He has spent all three seasons of his MLB career with the Cubs.
Over 60 career games, Brown has gone 10-13 with a 4.15 ERA.
Next month, he will turn 27.
There is no question that Brown will provide a big boost to the Cubs whenever he returns to action.
According to the site, he could still return before the MLB playoffs.
