Cubs RHP prospect Jaxon Wiggins was placed on the injured list at Triple-A Iowa with right elbow inflammation.
Not good. Wiggins blossomed into one of the top pitching prospects in baseball last year when he posted a 2.19 ERA and 97/36 K/BB ratio across 78 innings across three minor league levels to finish the year at Triple-A. No word yet on how much time the dynamic 24-year-old righty, who was a second-round pick in the 2023 MLB Draft, is going to miss. However, elbow issues tend to result in extended absences.
