Daniel Palencia is back with the Cubs after a two-month elbow recovery, ready to pitch without the closer role—thanks to Jacob Webb’s dominance. Palencia, who posted 22 saves and a 2.91 ERA last year, embraces his new identity as “The Gasolina,” eager to contribute in high-leverage spots as the playoffs loom. The team plans to ease him back into action, giving him more innings after just 16⅔ this season. Meanwhile, Javier Assad, who’s pitched well with a 3.46 ERA, has been sent down to Triple-A Iowa—leveraging his options to stay flexible between levels. The Cubs also added infielder Gabriel Arias, moving Owen Miller to make room.
