The Cubs' fill-in closer is out with an oblique injury, further muddying the bullpen waters. When will the team make a move for a reliever?

I'm not saying it means anything, but in two at-bats versus Jameson Taillon, Kyle Stowers (who has been really good this year) has two home runs. Might wanna pitch around him tonight.
Marlins-White Sox-Marlins is a nice reprieve after all those NL West series in April, huh? And good news! The next three series are Reds-Rockies-Reds. Got a good chance to create some distance here.
A fun win last night, though Ballesteros was pretty disappointing in his debut, which is understandable. I doubt he gets the start tonight against a lefty.
So, uh, I guess Moises Ballesteros is on debut watch tonight? Bellozo is a righty, and it's hard for me to imagine Counsell wants Turner or Lopez in there more often than they have to be. I thoroughly expect Ballesteros to start at DH tonight.
Pope Leo XIV is a Chicago-born native and the first American to ever be elected as Pope. He's also supposedly a baseball fan. Team of destiny, anyone?

So, Cade Horton is NOT starting tonight. That being said, I'd expect him to get a piggyback appearance, assuming Keller doesn't get annihilated in the first two innings. We shall see.
