3 years agoChicago Cubs starting pitcher Adbert Alzolay (lat) said that he will miss upwards of two months with a strained right lat at the top of his shoulder. He said it was the same injury he sustained in 2018 in Triple-A, when he was on the injured list for almost four months. Alzolay first said he felt the injury three and a half weeks ago while throwing a bullpen session. The right-hander received a platelet-rich plasma injection last week and has to wait roughly four weeks before resuming baseball activities. It's a tough blow for the 27-year-old and will take him off the radar in mixed leagues for the start of the 2022 season. Despite a 4.58 ERA last year, Alzolay had a promising 24.7% strikeout rate, 6.6% walk rate and 45.3% ground-ball rate, so he could become an option later in the season if he's fully healthy.--Keith Hernandez - RotoBaller
