Cubs reliever Phil Maton will undergo right knee surgery, likely ending his season after being diagnosed with a partial patellar tendon tear. Maton has struggled with injuries throughout the year, posting a 6.18 ERA over 27 2/3 innings. His absence compounds the Cubs’ bullpen issues, which have seen seven blown saves recently. Maton is in the first year of a two-year, $14.5MM contract, earning a $5.5MM base salary this season.
