"I think Palencia is going in a good direction. The next step for him is a pretty big bullpen on Tuesday. I think that'll give us a pretty clear path to when we're gonna activate him."
"The news might not be as positive for lefty Riley Martin, who was placed on the IL with elbow inflammation and is heading back to Chicago for additional testing."
Daniel Palencia is recovering from a lat strain and is expected to have a significant bullpen session on Tuesday, which will determine his activation timeline. He was previously shut down due to symptoms that flared up during conditioning. In contrast, Riley Martin has been placed on the injured list with elbow inflammation and is returning to Chicago for further testing. The Cubs are concerned about the potential impact of another injury on their roster.
