"Cubs' Alzolay Returns, Bolstering Bullpen for Final Series"

The Chicago Cubs have activated closer Adbert Alzolay from the injured list, where he had been since September 11 with a forearm strain. In a corresponding move, reliever Keegan Thompson has been optioned to the team's spring facility in Arizona. Alzolay's return is expected to bolster the Cubs' bullpen, which has struggled in September, and he may resume his role as closer as the team fights for a wild-card spot in the National League.

Nico Hoerner's Return Sparks Cubs Offense with Four RBIs.

Nico Hoerner returns from the injured list and helps the Cubs end their five-game losing streak with a 10-1 victory over the Phillies. Hoerner's two-run double in the second inning ignites the offense, and he finishes the game with three hits and four RBIs. The Cubs also make some necessary roster moves, sending Keegan Thompson to Triple-A Iowa and designating Eric Hosmer for assignment. Despite the recent struggles, Cubs manager David Ross insists that this is not a shake-up and that the team is still in a good place mentally and cohesively.

Astros' Bullpen Rally Past Cubs with McCormick's Heroic Catch.

The Chicago Cubs suffered their fifth straight loss after their bullpen relinquished a five-run lead in the ninth inning against the Houston Astros. Cubs manager David Ross is still searching for the right late-inning combination, with Michael Fulmer and Brad Boxberger struggling and Brandon Hughes' availability sporadic due to a left knee issue. Keegan Thompson, who was a multi-inning weapon as a reliever last season, has struggled this year, posting a 10.13 ERA in his last seven games. The Cubs are dealing with how often Thompson can pitch, with him responding well to pitching with three days of rest but struggling in any other scenario.
