Penn Murfee, a professional baseball player for the Chicago Cubs, recently experienced a recurrence of elbow issues after returning from a road trip to Illinois. The issue first arose during spring training in February, when Murfee felt pain in his elbow while throwing. After a few weeks of rest, he was able to return to the field and play in the Cubs’ opening game.
However, after the team’s recent road trip to Illinois, Murfee experienced a recurrence of the elbow issue. He was immediately removed from the game and sent for an MRI. The results of the MRI showed that there was no structural damage to the elbow, but that the issue was likely due to inflammation.
The Cubs have since placed Murfee on the 10-day injured list, and he will be reevaluated after the team returns from their road trip. In the meantime, Murfee has been instructed to rest and undergo physical therapy in order to reduce inflammation and improve his range of motion.
Murfee’s recurrence of elbow issues is a reminder of the importance of taking proper care of one’s body while playing professional sports. Professional athletes often push themselves to their limits in order to perform at their best, but it is important to remember that rest and recovery are just as important as practice and preparation.
The Cubs hope that Murfee will be able to return to the field soon, and that he will be able to continue playing without any further issues. In the meantime, they will continue to monitor his progress and provide him with the support he needs in order to get back on the field as soon as possible.
