Adbert Alzolay #73 of the Chicago Cubs pitches in the ninth inning against the Arizona Diamondbacks at Wrigley Field on September 09, 2023 in Chicago, Illinois.DENVER – The Cubs put closer Adbert Alzolay on the 15-day IL Monday with what they called a strained right forearm, a major blow to the bullpen down the stretch.
“I can’t get my breaking balls down,” Alzolay said. “So that was the thing that was going to worry me a little bit, that I couldn’t get my breaking balls down. But we’re just going to give it a couple of days and then start throwing again to see how it’s progressing.”
