The Chicago Cubs place reliever Daniel Palencia on the 15-day injured list due to elbow inflammation, according to multiple reports. To fill the roster spot, the Cubs recall Gavin Hollowell from their Triple-A affiliate in Iowa. The moves reflect the team’s need to manage Palencia’s availability while he recovers from the reported elbow issue. Palencia’s designation keeps him out of action for at least the duration of the 15-day period under Major League Baseball’s injured-list rules. Hollowell’s recall gives the Cubs an available bullpen option while Palencia is sidelined. The reporting is consistent between outlets on both the reason for the injured list placement and the corresponding roster move that brings Hollowell back to the major leagues.
