Chicago Cubs Move Talented Reliever To 15-Day Injured List

Chicago Cubs reliever Yency Almonte, who was part of a December trade that brought first baseman Michael Busch to the Windy City, was placed on the 15-day injured list on Saturday before their game with the Pittsburgh Pirates. Cubs manager Craig Counsell announced the move before game, telling reporters that Almonte did not recover well from his last outing, which was on Tuesday against the San Diego Padres. Almonte joined Chicago as part of a four-player deal with the Los Angeles Dodgers.
