Adbert Alzolay Out for 2024 Season

Adbert Alzolay, the Chicago Cubs right-hander, will need surgery on his injured right forearm, effectively ending his 2024 season. Alzolay, who had a notable 2023 season with 22 saves, struggled this year with a 4.67 ERA in 18 games before being placed on the 60-day injured list in May. Despite attempts at rehabilitation, he suffered a setback during a Triple-A Iowa outing, leading to the decision for surgery. The exact details and timing of the surgery will be determined after he receives second opinions, with more information expected early next week. This development is a significant blow for the Cubs, who will miss Alzolay's presence in their bullpen.
