SAN DIEGO – The Cubs put starter Adbert Alzolay on the 10-day injured list with a blister on his right middle finger. Alzolay struggled with the blister in his start in Monday’s 9-4 loss to the Padres and couldn’t get command of his pitches as he walked a season-high five batters in the game.
The Cubs’ right-hander was removed from the game in the fourth inning after the blister continued to affect him.
“It’s been going on since my last outing,” Alzolay said on Monday. “That was when I first felt it, but it was fine in my bullpen this week and everything was alright.
