The Cubs bullpen is awful.
This, we’ve known almost all year but even in the recent two wins over the White Sox, the pen gave up the lead late.
Where can the Cubs get some relief help? Three members of the current pen are on the 15-day IL: Keegan Thompson, Colten Brewer and Yency Almonte. There’s no reported return date for any of them, though Brewer and Thompson are now on rehab assignments. Daniel Palencia, who was on a rehab assignment at Triple-A Iowa, had a setback in Thursday’s game and left the game with the team trainer.
