ATLANTA – Hours before the Cubs faced the Braves on Wednesday, a consequential live batting practice session played out on Truist Park.
Cubs corner infielder Jeimer Candelario (strained low back) faced closer Adbert Alzolay (strained right forearm), pitting against each other two players who are expected to play major roles in the final days of the regular season. The Cubs activated Candelario on Wednesday, and Alzolay likely isn’t far behind.
“Hopefully Friday,” Alzolay said.
