Cubs pitcher Kevin Gausman exited his start against the White Sox early due to a cramp in his left hand — not a head injury, but enough to prompt manager Craig Counsell to pull him after four and a third innings. Gausman allowed three runs on seven hits, including a homer, striking out five in 86 pitches. This marks his third outing since being traded from the Blue Jays; while his ERA sits at 6.19, he’s shown flashes of dominance, like his strong debut. With pitching depth already thin — including Edward Cabrera sidelined with a blister — this hand issue is a worrying development as the Cubs push toward the postseason. Hopeful it’s minor, but fans are watching closely.
