CHICAGO -- Cubs reliever Yency Almonte will undergo right shoulder surgery for a labrum tear and miss the rest of the 2024 season.
Almonte, 30, has been out since May after appearing in 17 games in his first season with Chicago. He was acquired, along with infielder Michael Busch, in a trade in January with the Los Angeles Dodgers. He compiled a 3.45 ERA over 15.2 innings, giving up one home run while striking out 20.
"I've been able to pitch threw it and finally it just went," Almonte said Saturday.
