The Chicago Cubs face a significant challenge this season as their starting rotation struggles. They anticipate the return of Shota Imanaga, which should ease some concerns. However, the absence of Justin Steele raises questions about the team's championship potential. President Jed Hoyer has actively sought to bolster the rotation, with MLB insider Mark Feinsand suggesting they consider Los Angeles Angels' Tyler Anderson as a mid-rotation option. Anderson started the season with a respectable ERA but faltered in June, creating uncertainty about his value. Despite this, his past performances highlight a potential upside that could benefit the Cubs as they push for a postseason spot.
