芝加哥小熊队正在应对多名球员受伤的困境，并全力在8月3日的交易截止日前寻求补强投手阵容。
本赛季小熊队在野手阵容上捉襟见肘，投手位置也面临着日益增多的伤病困扰。目前，芝加哥小熊队正在角逐国家联盟外卡席位，落后于分区领头羊密尔沃基酿酒人队。
小熊队棒球运营总裁杰德·霍耶（Jed Hoyer）表示，球队未来一个月的表现将决定他们的策略。他说：“当然，我们的比赛表现将决定我们采取何种程度的进取态度，以及具体的补强需求。”
小熊队近期从纽约大都会队引进了左投手大卫·彼得森（David Peterson）。多名首发投手，包括詹姆森·泰隆（Jameson Taillon）和爱德华·卡布雷拉（Edward Cabrera），因腿筋问题进入伤病名单；而本·布朗（Ben Brown）和贾斯汀·斯蒂尔（Justin Steele）等人则面临更长的恢复期。包括丹尼尔·帕伦西亚（Daniel Palencia）和菲尔·马顿（Phil Maton）在内的牛棚战力也有望在7月底前回归。
球队可能会在截止日前寻求更多的后援补强，以稳定这支经历过频繁变动的投手群体。
