Chicago Cubs place closer Daniel Palencia on 15-day injured list
The Chicago Cubs are hoping to build off of their exciting walk-off victory over the Colorado Rockies on Monday night by taking a second consecutive game on Tuesday. Doing so would give them their second-straight series victory. Of course, this would be significant as Chicago went a whole month prior to this past weekend without winning a single series.
Unfortunately, as has been the case all season long, they are going to go into play on Tuesday with yet another injury setback. This time, one of their most important bullpen arms is headed to the injured list.
The Chicago Cubs place Daniel Palencia on the injured list
Coming into the season, there was a great deal of buzz surrounding Cubs closer Daniel Palencia, who shined in the World Baseball Classic for Team Venezuela. However, many worried that his usage in the WBC would lead to some injury concerns in 2026, and so far they have been proved right in their thought process.
Earlier this year, Palencia missed a few weeks with an oblique/lat strain. Now, he is heading to the injured list again with elbow inflammation:
In another setback for their pitching staff, the Cubs placed closer Daniel Palencia on the injured list with right elbow inflammation. Gavin Hollowell was recalled from Triple-A Iowa as the corresponding roster move.

Chicago’s bullpen has been inconsistent this season, and Palencia has been one of their few bright spots. So far in 2026, he is 2-1 with a 2.70 ERA and three saves. He has only been able to appear in 19 games so far.
With Palencia out, manager Craig Counsell would be wise to go to a closer-by-committee approach until he identifies the pitcher that would be best-suited for the role going forward.
