Adbert Alzolay

Alzolay is not listed as the Cubs’ closer for Sunday's game against Miami.

Fantasy Impact

Alzolay will be given some time to regain his confidence after blowing yet another save in Saturday's loss to Miami. The right-hander has given up 4 homers and blown 4 saves so far this season. Look for either Mark Leiter Jr. or Hector Neris to take over the closer role for Chicago.

Adbert Alzolay earned the save Sunday against the Mariners, working around a hit with two strikeouts.

Fantasy Impact

After recording two strikeouts, Alzolay picked off Julio Rodriguez at first base who was a pinch-runner. He has three saves on the season.

Adbert Alzolay signed a one-year deal worth $2.11 million with the Cubs to avoid arbitration.

Fantasy Impact

Alzolay finished last season as the closer for the Cubs, recording 22 saves. He posted a 2.67 ERA across 64 innings and should remain in the same role this season.

Adbert Alzolay has been placed on the 15-day IL due to a right forearm strain, retroactive to 9/10.

Fantasy Impact

Alzolay had reported some pain in his forearm and the Cubs were taking it day by day with their closer. Now, they have opted for a trip to the IL is what is best. Michael Fulmer was activated from the IL in a corresponding move, and he could see some save chances alongside Julian Merryweather and Mark Leiter Jr.

Alzolay's 11-pitch, one-inning outing featured no hits or walks allowed, one strikeout, and no earned runs, further solidifying his role as a reliable closer for fantasy managers in need of saves.

Fantasy Impact

With a 2.59 ERA, 0.95 WHIP, and strong peripherals, Alzolay has proven to be a valuable asset in the Cubs' bullpen throughout the season.
