Fantasy Impact
Alzolay was placed on the 15-day IL Monday but hadn't undergone all of the testing to determine the extent of the injury until now. While it's unclear exactly how much time he will miss, he will almost certainly be out for more than 15 days. Hector Neris should continue to get most of the save opportunities for the Cubs.
Adbert Alzolay has been placed on the 15-day IL due to a right forearm strain.
Fantasy Impact
Alzolay has had a rough start to the 2024 season, sporting a 4.68 ERA and a career-worst 6.75 K/9 while losing his closer role in the process. Hopefully the time off will give him a chance to reset and clear up any injuries that may have been affecting him this season. Jose Cuas was recalled from Triple-A, while Hector Neris should remain the primary closing option for the Cubs.
Adbert Alzolay allowed a run but secured the save in the Cubs' 5-4 victory over the Pirates.
Fantasy Impact
He surrendered one hit and one walk in his inning of work, failing to strike out any batters. Despite notching his fourth save of the season, Alzolay's performance continues to be a rollercoaster, evidenced by his elevated 4.67 ERA and concerning 1.44 WHIP. His low strikeout rate of 6.8 K/9 and high FIP of 7.47 suggests that relying on him for consistent fantasy points could be a risky proposition. Fantasy managers should view Alzolay as a volatile save option, best suited for deeper leagues where saves are scarce.
