Manager Craig Counsell checked on him mid-game, but he stayed in. This marks his second injury this season, and his absence hits hard—Palencia’s been a key bullpen arm with a 2.70 ERA and 19 strikeouts in 16⅔ innings. The team’s depth will be tested as they wait for his elbow to heal and consider a closer-by-committee approach in his absence. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
