Cubs Place Left-Handed Reliever Caleb Thielbar on the 15-Day Injury List with Left Hamstring Strain
The Cubs said the move is one of 10 pitchers on their 40-man roster now on the injured list.
- On Friday, April 24, the Chicago Cubs placed left-handed pitcher Caleb Thielbar on the 15-day injured list with a hamstring strain, promoting 33-year-old right-hander Vince Velasquez from Triple-A Iowa to fill the roster spot.
- Thielbar sustained the injury during Thursday's 8-7 victory over the Philadelphia Phillies, becoming the eighth Cubs pitcher placed on the injured list this month while serving as closer for Daniel Palencia.
- In additional roster moves Friday, the Cubs selected infielder Nicky Lopez from Triple-A Iowa and designated Scott Kingery for assignment, while transferring right-hander Porter Hodge to the 60-day injured list.
- Manager Craig Counsell described the hamstring strain as "on the mild side," noting Thielbar suffered a similar injury in '22 and expressing hope the veteran returns close to the 15-day minimum.
- Counsell recently criticized the rule limiting teams to 13 pitchers, calling it "the most bizarre rule" and contrasting it with the "Ohtani Rule," which allows the Dodgers to carry an extra player without counting against the limit.
