But he's open to whatever the Cubs have in mind to get him back to the big-time weapon he was last year, one they can deploy in a postseason series.

The right-hander has been great in whatever role he’s been asked to fill, but with the return of […] Sat, 22 Aug 2026 00:41:34 GMT Aldo Soto https://sportspyder.com/mlb/chicago-cubs/articles/57663628 https://sportspyder.com/mlb/chicago-cubs/articles/57663628 false false It’s a day that ends in Y, so naturally, we have more Cubs roster moves to discuss! Today’s moves are much more positive, though, with . Roster Moves: -Daniel Palencia activated off the 60-day IL. -Gabriel Arias added to 26-man roster. -Javier Assad optioned to Triple-A Iowa. -Owen Miller designated for assignment.— Taylor McGregor (@Taylor_McGregor) Daniel Palencia’s Return Among Several Cubs Roster Moves Palencia is set to appear in a major league game for the first time since June 15. He’s been on the injured list for over two months with right elbow inflammation and has been rehabbing in the minor leagues since August 5. May 14, 2026; Atlanta, Georgia, USA; Chicago Cubs pitcher Daniel Palencia (48) in action against the Atlanta Braves in the ninth inning at Truist Park. Mandatory Credit: Brett Davis-Imagn Images After five rehab outings with both the Knoxville Smokies and Iowa Cubs, Palencia is ready to help the Cubs as they try to catch the Milwaukee Brewers for the NL Central crown. His presence has been missed dearly in Craig Counsell’s bullpen, but he won’t be taking the closer role from Jacob Webb, at least not as of now. As a corresponding move for Palencia’s return, the Cubs have once again optioned Javier Assad to Triple-A. It’s disappointing because he’s been so important and helpful to this team, but the odds are he won’t be down for long. Alas, he has options left, which made him the odd man out. Gabriel Arias was from the Mets on Wednesday evening, giving the Cubs a new piece of infield depth during the absence of Dansby Swanson. He’s taking the place of Owen Miller, who appeared in just one inning for the Cubs, acting as a defensive replacement in extra innings on Monday.
