Now Yongsheng is too injured and retired, causing a rotation crisis, and the Cubs pitcher team has been hit hard

In Sunday's sixth inning, Shota Imanaga was left for examination after a sudden discomfort in the back of her left leg when she sprinted to first base for a ball that killed Christian Yelich. The move sparked deep concerns about the Cubs' starting rotation – the left-hand thrower was preliminarily diagnosed with a left hamstring strain, the exact extent of which is pending further imaging tests.

After the fielder chose to go to base, the Brewers took the opportunity to score four points and the Cubs lost 4-0. Kyle Tucker, right-winger, said: "He's had a great start to the season and we desperately need him to get back healthy. "

The Cubs have lost their rotation: ace Justin Steele is out for the season due to left elbow surgery, and right-handed Javier Assad has his left oblique muscle strain. If I'm out for a long time, the only remaining rotations are Jameson Taillon, Matthew Boyd, Ben Brown and the starter-turned-Colin Rea.

Potential replacements include veteran Chris Flexen on the 40-man roster and minor league star Cade Horton. The latter had a 1.24 starting point in six triple-A Iowa games and 33 strikeouts in 34.1 innings, ranking 47th among the top 100 rookies. But coach Craig Counsell made it clear: "It's too early to talk about Horton. "

It is worth noting that Seungta Imanaga left early last Tuesday due to quadriceps cramps in both legs for the first time against the Pirates, and was assessed to be fine at the time and maintained a normal rotation. Edwin Stanberry, an interpreter, said: "I was shocked that I was in great shape before the race and that there were no signs of injury. "

In the first five innings of the game, Imanaga was able to block the Brewers' line, and after being beaten by Jackson Chourio and William Contreras in the sixth inning, he was injured in the face of Jelic's rolling ball. Relay pitcher Julian Merryweather took over and lost four straight points after taking over, and Imanaga eventually took on a two-point blame to improve his ERA percentage to 2.82 for the season.

"He's never had a leg muscle strain," Conseil revealed, "and he's not sure about the exact injury, but he's definitely feeling the difference." A follow-up plan will be made after Monday's inspection. "
