""I don't have a concrete timeline," [Cubs Director of Player Development Jason] Kanzler said at Sloan Park. "He's probably going to miss roughly a month, but past that, it's very fluid.""
""When he was doing his hitting work with us on the backfields and in the cages, it is impressive. It's loud tools. It's exactly what we expected when we drafted him.""
Ethan Conrad, drafted by the Chicago Cubs despite shoulder surgery, is facing a delay in his debut due to a lower-back issue. He has completed shoulder rehab but will miss approximately a month. Cubs Director of Player Development Jason Kanzler noted there was no acute injury event leading to the back issue. The Cubs are prioritizing a cautious approach to ensure Conrad returns at full strength. His hitting performance during practice has shown promise, indicating his potential as a top prospect.
