DENVER — The Cubs put closer Adbert Alzolay on the 15-day injured list Monday with 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, then start throwing again to see how it’s progressing.”
