Cubs, Brewers Suffer Key Injuries in Brewers' Win

Chicago Cubs left-hander Shota Imanaga exited Sunday's game against the Milwaukee Brewers in the sixth inning with a left hamstring strain, marking his second consecutive early exit due to leg issues. The Cubs' pitching rotation is already depleted by injuries to key starters Justin Steele and Javier Assad. After Imanaga's departure, the Brewers scored four runs in the inning and ultimately won 4-0, with the Cubs struggling offensively and missing late scoring chances. The severity of Imanaga's injury is not yet known, putting his next start in doubt and raising further concerns for the Cubs' already thin pitching staff. In addition, the Brewers lost right fielder Sal Frelick to a knee injury during the game. The impact of these injuries could influence both teams' performances in upcoming games.
