7 years agoChicago Cubs closer Brandon Morrow (biceps) will attempt to throw off a mound this weekend. “It’s just kind of a deep thing that’s just sticking around. I can’t put my finger on it,” said Morrow, who went on the disabled list when the pain didn’t go away through the break. “I think the muscle is healed though. So throwing around some discomfort is going to be OK. I’m going to see if it’s good when I continue to stretch it out.” Morrow is optimistic that he won't be out the rest of the season, but the team isn't putting a timetable on his return. It doesn't sound like Morrow will be back before the end of August, but he needs to remain stashed everywhere. Pedro Strop has done a good job filling in for Morrow in the ninth inning.--Keith Hernandez - RotoBaller
