Daniel Palencia nearing return from IL, but Cubs will be ‘flexible’ while Jacob Webb shines as go-to reliever
Cubs relief pitcher Daniel Palencia takes the field during a game against the Reds on May 7.
But that doesn’t necessarily mean he’ll be stepping right back into his role as the Cubs’ closer.
Righty Jacob Webb has been terrific as the team’s closer/go-to reliever in games’ biggest moments. He has a 2.49 ERA and has been on a roll lately, without a run allowed in his last 18 appearances, including back-to-back 1-2-3 ninths in wins over the juggernaut Dodgers on Tuesday and Wednesday.
But perhaps independent of Webb’s success, whether the fireballing Palencia is destined to retake his place in the ninth inning or not, the Cubs aren’t planning to hand the keys back to someone whose season has been limited to just a handful of games by two IL stays.

The team added Kevin Gausman, Clay Holmes, Braxton Garrett, and Ryan Zeferjahn before the August 3 deadline to fortify a staff that had been stressed and strained by injury. At the same time, however, some of the Cubs on the shelf are starting to work their way back to the major league roster.
With a staff soon to be overloaded with viable options, the Cubs will soon have to make some difficult decisions.
