## Resource

The Cubs’ bullpen takes a hit as pitcher Daniel Palencia lands on the 15-day injured list with right elbow inflammation, just days after pitching through discomfort in a key ninth-inning appearance. Manager Craig Counsell noticed something was off and made a mound visit. Despite having four days off, the elbow persisted, prompting the move — with no imaging planned yet. This isn’t Palencia’s first injury this season, nor his first since a heavy WBC workload for Venezuela. His absence opens the door for relievers like Thielbar, Milner, and Webb to step into high-leverage roles. Though he hadn’t recorded a save since mid-May, his 2.70 ERA made him a reliable closer. Losing him stings — Counsell called it tough — but the bullpen must adapt and keep getting outs, even without the same pitching order every night.
