Chicago Cubs — Craig Kimbrel was placed on the injured list for the second time this season with elbow inflammation. Cubs president Theo Epstein said Kimbrel felt something during his appearance on Sunday, but an MRI revealed nothing structurally wrong. One writer named Rowan Wick, Brandon Kintzler and Steve Cishek as candidates for saves. Pedro Strop has allowed a total of five runs over his last six appearances, so he might be further away from save chances than we’re used to.
Updated hierarchy: Wick | Kintzler | Cishek.
