The hits keep on coming for the Cubs’ pitching staff. In a surprising development before Friday’s 12-4 win over the Mets at Wrigley Field, the team put closer Daniel Palencia on the 15-day injured list Friday with a left oblique strain. The move is retroactive to Tuesday, and the Cubs did not announce a corresponding move.
Palencia becomes the 10th Cubs pitcher on the injured list. He last pitched Sunday, when he threw the ninth inning and earned the win in a 7-6, comeback victory against the Pirates. He has one save and hasn’t allowed a run in five innings this season.
Meanwhile, manager Craig Counsell said that starter Cade Horton could miss 16 months after having surgery on his ulnar collateral ligament. Horton left his start April 3 after one inning, and the Cubs put him on the injured list with a right forearm strain. He had been expected to miss the rest of this season.
Friday was a good, bad and ugly kind of day for the health of the Cubs’ pitching staff.

If early-season disaster and despair can befall the $370 million Mets, it could happen to anybody. And the one-injury-after-another Cubs are vulnerable.
