It seemed like just a matter of time before beleaguered former closer Adbert Alzolay was placed on the IL. Whether his struggles were really due to a right forearm strain or this is just a way to give him time to clear his head and clean up his mechanics, the situation had clearly come to a head. The leadoff homer he surrendered in the bottom of the 10th inning on Sunday was his sixth of the season in 17.1 innings, as many as he gave up in 77.1 frames over the last two seasons combined.
