The brief

Ben Brown's return to the Chicago Cubs' roster has been delayed. The pitcher had been progressing through rehab for a neck injury. However, he experienced a setback that has slowed his recovery.

The Cubs are still hopeful for a late-season return from another pitcher, Justin Steele. Steele's return is anticipated to bolster the team's rotation as they make their playoff push. The Cubs have reset their expectations for Steele, who is eyeing a return to the mound.

Brown's setback comes at a crucial time for the Cubs. The team is focused on securing a playoff spot, and the status of their pitchers will be vital. The Cubs have not yet provided a timeline for Brown's return.
