ATLANTA — Right-hander Adbert Alzolay, who opened the season as the Chicago Cubs' closer, has been placed on the 15-day injured list with a right forearm strain. Right-hander José Cuas was recalled from Triple-A Iowa. Alzolay is 1-4 with a 4.67 ERA and has four saves in nine opportunities. Héctor Neris, who has six saves in seven chances, has moved into the closer's role though Alzolay earned the save in the Cubs' 5-4 win in 10 innings at Pittsburgh on Sunday. Neris was the winning pitcher. Alzolay becomes the eighth current Cubs player on the injured list.
