Injury notebook: Cubs managing Mark Leiter Jr.'s forearm, pausing Yency Almonte's rehab
SAN FRANCISCO – Cubs reliever Mark Leiter Jr. is in his second full season as a high-leverage reliever. And last year presented a lesson on how to manage 162 games in that role.
“Saying something now, instead of just continuing to go out there and try to battle through things,” Leiter said Monday of what he’s learned. “I think the hardest thing is just knowing, as a relief pitcher, what's too much and what's normal.”
The Cubs put Leiter on the 15-day injured list (strained right forearm) Sunday before their game against the Mets.
