Alzolay (finger) was activated from the 10-day injured list and will start Monday versus Cleveland.

EDGE Analysis

The right-hander has been on the injured list with a blister on his right middle finger for the past two weeks, but he'll rejoin the rotation Monday without requiring a rehab assignment. Alzolay has a 4.06 ERA, 1.04 WHIP and 62:16 K:BB across 57.2 innings through 11 starts this season.

Alzolay (finger) will start Monday's game against Cleveland, Jordan Bastian of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Alzolay has been on the injured list since June 8 due to a blister on his right middle finger, but he's been throwing this week. As long as he doesn't experience any setbacks in the coming days, the right-hander will return to the mound for Monday's series opener.

Alzolay (finger) threw a bullpen Tuesday and may be ready for activation after one more session, Meghan Montemurro of the Chicago Tribune reports.

EDGE Analysis

Pitching coach Tommy Hottovy said he wants to see how Alzolay's recovering finger blister reacts under "game-mode" conditions. While Alzolay is eligible for activation from the injured list Friday, Zach Davies is scheduled to start that day and Jake Arrieta the next, so Sunday seems to be a likely target for his return.

Alzolay (finger) was placed on the 10-day injured list Tuesday, Jordan Bastian of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

The 26-year-old played catch Tuesday after leaving Monday's start with a blister on his right middle finger, and he'll require a stint on the injured list before making another start. Kohl Stewart was recalled in a corresponding move and is the likely candidate to fill Alzolay's spot in the rotation.

Alzolay (finger) played catch Tuesday, but his availability for his next turn through the rotation remains up in the air, Tony Andracki of Marquee Sports Network reports.

EDGE Analysis

The 26-year-old is officially considered day-to-day, though it's encouraging he was able to play catch so quickly after exiting Monday's start with a blister on his right middle finger. Alzolay tentatively lines up to start Saturday versus St. Louis, though he should be considered questionable to pitch until the team updates his status.

Alzolay left Monday's game against San Diego with a blister on his right middle finger, Gordon Wittenmyer of NBC Sports Chicago reports.

EDGE Analysis

Alzolay's status for his next start is unclear at this point, though blisters don't typically force an extended absence. He'll likely be re-evaluated over the next few days to determine his status moving forward.

Alzolay left Monday's game against the Padres due to an apparent injury, Russell Dorsey of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.

EDGE Analysis

Alzolay (4-4) allowed a run on three hits and a walk with seven strikeouts in five innings in Wednesday's win over San Diego.

EDGE Analysis

The only run against the right-hander was a Ha-Seong Kim RBI single in the fourth inning. Alzolay continues to be effective at limiting baserunners -- he owns a 0.91 WHIP on the season. The 26-year-old has added a 3.62 ERA and 58:11 K:BB across 54.2 innings in 10 starts. Alzolay lines up for a road rematch with San Diego next week.

Alzolay (3-4) allowed five hits and three walks while striking out six in 5.2 scoreless innings to earn the win against the Reds on Friday.

EDGE Analysis

The Cubs were only able to put one run on the board with a strong wind blowing in at Wrigley Field on Friday, but Alzolay held the Reds scoreless to return to the win column. The right-hander has now posted a 3.81 ERA and 0.93 WHIP in 49.2 innings across nine starts to begin the season. He tentatively lines up to make his next start at home against the Padres on Wednesday.

Alzolay (2-4) allowed two earned runs across seven innings but took the loss Saturday against the Cardinals. He gave up five hits and no walks while striking out six.

EDGE Analysis

Alzolay pitched very well, but the Chicago offense mustered just five hits in a 2-1 loss. The righty has been incredibly consistent lately, going at least five innings and allowing three runs or fewer in five straight starts. The seven innings pitched Saturday were actually a new season high for Alzolay, and he lowered his ERA to 4.30 in the process. He'll look for a little better luck in the win column his next time out Friday against the Reds.
