"For all of the critical injuries in the last few weeks that have affected the races, it may be that none has done more damage than Adbert Alzolay’s sore elbow. The Cubs are tied for the final wild-card spot today, two behind the Diamondbacks for the #5 seed, and with a couple of good innings of relief, they might well be the #5 seed themselves and a win away from locking up a playoff berth. The margins are so thin in September."
