Alzolay Out For the Season (Strained Lat)

Jaron Madison, Chicago’s director of player development, said Monday he doesn’t expect the injured Iowa Cubs pitcher to return until at after the minor league All-Star break.

 

Alzolaly, ranked the top prospect in the organization by MLB.com, has been on the disabled list since May 30 with a lat strain.

 

“Just kind of giving it time to heal and then he’ll start building back up with his throwing program and everything,” Madison said. “No exact timetable right now. Just depending on how he feels.”

 

Iowa’s second half begins July 12th.

That’s fine, I guess. Only thing it really affects is his value if we were to try and use him to get something in a trade this year. Would think a winter league or AZ Fall League is potentially in play for him though to build up innings assuming he’s healthy the rest of the year when he comes back?

Well ... I'll look on the bright side. Time to get Duncan Robinson up to AAA, which opens a slot at AA for Lange, or more likely Thompson, and which potentially opens up a spot for say, Rollie Lacy or Tyler Thomas at Myrtle. Yeah, better to have Alzolay healthy and pitching, but at least some guys excelling at their current levels right now potentially get to go up and see if they can excel at a higher level.
