7 years agoChicago Cubs closer Brandon Morrow (biceps), who is hoping to throw off a mound soon, won't be immediately inserted back into the closer's role when he comes off the disabled list, according to manager Joe Maddon. Because the minor league seasons are ending soon, Morrow also won't be able to go on a rehab assignment. The Cubs will be cautious with the right-hander, as they'd like to have him at 100 percent for a playoff run. With Morrow running out of time to give fantasy owners saves, you may want to consider dropping him in a shallow league if you have more pressing needs. Pedro Strop has mostly filled in for saves with Morrow out, but he has stumbled a bit of late, opening up the door for Jesse Chavez to see some save chances.--Keith Hernandez - RotoBaller
