Cubs seek bullpen stability with return of Edward Cabrera

The Chicago Cubs are attempting to address bullpen struggles as the regular season reaches its final two weeks. Edward Cabrera was activated from the injured list Saturday, replacing Trent Thornton, who is dealing with an ankle issue. Manager Craig Counsell plans to utilize Cabrera in relief roles to help fortify the pitching staff for a potential postseason appearance. Meanwhile, Daniel Palencia remains on the roster as the team works to restore his performance through additional game innings. Justin Steele continues his recovery from a long-term absence and is scheduled to throw a bullpen session at Wrigley Field on Sunday. The team remains focused on stabilizing its pitching unit to secure a wild card position as the regular season draws to a close.
