Cubs’ shortstop prospect Ed Howard, the 2020 first-round draft pick out of Mount Carmel High, was hurt last week in a game for South Bend.
Howard, one of the stars on the Jackie Robinson West team from Chicago that played in the 2014 Little League World Series championship game, already has missed one full minor-league season because of 2020 pandemic-canceled season, playing a total of 103 professional career games.
But he would still be considered a young player in the Midwest League next year, suggesting a chance to stay “on time” in his development timeline. After a slow start this season, Howard was 16-for-50 in his last 14 games with five walks and an .832 OPS.
