The Cubs are hoping for a best-case scenario for their flame-throwing closer's injury.
Sunday was a truly awful day for the Chicago Cubs. It wasn't just that the team allowed a come-from-behind victory to a terrible Washington Nationals team. It wasn't just that they lost the series to that same bad club. It was that closer Daniel Palencia had another awful outing (five earned runs no outs recorded) that was punctuated by an early exit due to injury.
Things went from bad to worse when the Cubs announced what Palencia's injury was.
