PHOENIX (AP) — Chicago Cubs right-hander Ben Brown suffered a
setback in his rehab for a neck injury, putting his availability
for the stretch run of the season in doubt.
Cubs manager Craig Counsell said plans to start Brown on a minor
league rehab assignment are on hold after the 26-year-old
experienced discomfort during a throwing session on Tuesday.
“We’re going to have to regroup and he’ll probably check back in
with the doctors and see what it means,” Counsell said Wednesday
before Chicago's game against Arizona. “He said symptoms popped
up at the end of the outing, and then worsened as the hours went
on.”
Brown has been on the injured list since June 19 with a stress
reaction in his neck, an injury that caused him to miss
significant time in 2024. He is 4-2 with a 1.85 ERA in 20 games,
this season including eight starts.
