Porter Hodge Throws Over the Weekend
According to MLB.com, Chicago Cubs right-handed reliever Porter Hodge (shoulder) was scheduled to throw on Saturday, July 12, and is "feeling good," according to manager Craig Counsell. The Cubs placed Hodge back on the injured list last Wednesday with a right-shoulder impingement after he surrendered six runs in just one-third of an inning against the Minnesota Twins the previous day. It's been an injury-plagued year for the 24-year-old, as Hodge also missed more than a month this season with hip and oblique injuries. It sounds like his shoulder injury isn't all that serious, though, so it's possible that he could rejoin Chicago's bullpen in late July or early August, barring a setback. Hodge had nine saves in his rookie season in 2024 but is currently sporting a 6.85 ERA, 1.56 WHIP, two saves and a 25:12 K:BB in his 23 2/3 relief innings this year.
