The Cubs placed Daniel Palencia on the 15-day injured list with right elbow inflammation Tuesday, one day after he struck out the side against the Rockies.
This guy is out of his mind right now. When I saw the swing, I though, surely he couldn’t have just done it again. But he did. Pete Crow-Armstrong, fresh off the cycle, just hit a leadoff homer...
If the Cubs pitching staff didn’t have bad luck, they’d have no luck at all. At least that’s how it feels through the first half of the 2026 season. Daniel Palencia has just been placed on the IL...
