Because Heuer is on the 40-man roster, he’s been restricted from working out with the Cubs or speaking to the team’s medical staff. As such, the injury occurred at a workout that was not supervised by the team and, presumably, the surgery was recommended by third-party medical experts as well. He’ll begin the rehab process without the assistance of the Cubs’ coaching or medical staff.

It will be interesting what the Sox can get for Kimbrel. The trading partner will be getting one of best, or worst relievers in baseball. I'm thinking very little.
