ATLANTA (AP) — Cubs closer Daniel Palencia went
on the 15-day injured list Monday, a day after straining his
right shoulder.
Palencia was hurt in the ninth inning of Sunday's 6-3 loss to
Washington. He entered with a 3-1 lead, faced five batters and
did not get an out, giving up two homers, a triple, a single and
a walk. Palencia's four-seam fastball averaged 98.5 mph, down
1.1 mph from his season average, and his splitter averaged 86.8
mph, a drop of 1.3 mph.
Palencia has 22 saves in 25 chances. The 25-year-old
right-hander is 1-6 with a 3.00 ERA in his third major league
season, all with Chicago.
Cubs manager Craig Counsell said Palencia will remain with the
team during their three-game series in Atlanta before the Cubs
return home.
“We're just going to get the treatment and see how it responds
over the next couple of days and then go from there,” he said.
Ethan Roberts was recalled from Triple-A Iowa.
Chicago entered Monday two games ahead of San Diego for the top
NL wild card.
