Chicago Cubs Lose Key Relievers to Season-Ending Surgeries.

Chicago Cubs' Codi Heuer and Brandon Hughes will miss the rest of the 2022 season due to season-ending surgeries. Heuer underwent a procedure to address an elbow fracture suffered during a Triple-A rehab start, while Hughes will undergo a distal femoral osteotomy on his left knee. Heuer missed the entire 2022 season due to Tommy John surgery, and it's another setback for him. Hughes posted a 3.12 ERA over 57 2/3 innings in his 2022 rookie season, but also had a sophomore slump, with a 7.24 ERA over 13 2/3 innings this season.
