Cubs’ Shota Imanaga Faces Uncertain Future After Sudden Hamstring Injury Shakes Team Dynamics
The Cubs quickly pulled Imanaga off the mound after that, ending his day. Julian Merryweather came in to replace him, and quickly gave up four runs. The Brewers then rode that the rest of the way to grab the win.
It marked the second straight start in which Imanaga left early. He left Tuesday’s matchup with the Pittsburgh Pirates in the sixth inning, too, due to cramping in both quads.

“This week my body, physically, has felt really good,” Imanaga said, via The Athletic. “Even before the game, I felt amazing. Hydration, everything felt great. So there was no sign in the back of my leg before the game or anything like that, so I’m in shock [that this happened].”
