“The challenges we’re facing in healthcare across Chicago and the nation are real, and I believe the sustainability of Sinai Chicago and other safety nets is about partnership, finding collaborators willing to work together, along with our community residents, to address disparities.

Rucker, 27, had not pitched in a game since the Cubs’ final Cactus League game on April 5. Managing his workload is a balancing act when going more than a week between facing live hitters.
