According to multiple reports on Twitter, Darvish’s bullpen session went well, as the righty threw 16 pitches and (presumably) felt fine. However, Joe Maddon and the Cubs will, apparently, not let us know about the next steps until tomorrow.

What does "Darvish done" mean?  Done for the day?  Done for the year? Done for another month?

Heh, that was my first take when I read that phrase too.  Badly worded tweet.

#Cubs Maddon on Bryant: "Rest would be the best thing for him now but we're not necessarily ready to do that. For right now, it's trying  to manage it and get him through the season."

Is a biceps injury a precursor to Tommy John or just the elbow and forearm?

CBJ probably knows better, but i have seen folks mention that persistent "biceps tightness" is a potential precursor, its a big talking point on some twitter feeds for pitching prospects.

Anything near the elbow is a concern for TJS. His MRI showed something, but they didn’t get specific.

You have to wonder how agressive the Cubs are going to be at the deadline. With Bryant’s shoulder, Rizzo’s struggles and the rotation being a dumpster fire and Marrow not remaining healthy....

The first thing the Cubs need to figure out is how to get Bote on the roster permanently. I know people love La Stella...but if Bryant's availability is going to be spotty the rest of the year (and they're already eating up a roster spot with a part time player in Zobrist), then it seems like a pinch hit single specialist is a luxury they can't afford.

I'm not sure why they don't just put Bryant back on the 10 day DL and call up Bote.  If Bryant's shoulder is bad enough to keep him out of a few games, you might as well give him plenty of additional time to rest it.

Additional time likely won't help.

The truth is we might get more from Bote than an injured Bryant.

Make sure you are near a bathroom all day then.  It could be explosive.
