Cubs Alzolay Gone for Year: A blow for Adbert Alzolay today — team doctors confirmed he will miss 9 months with a stretched elbow ligament. Alzolay suffered the injury throwing a pitch. Although officials from the Chicago Cubs are confident he’ll make a full recovery, doubts will persist about Alzolay’s ability to return fully fit with an injury of this nature.
