Cubs Turn to Hoby Milner for Save on Wednesday
Chicago Cubs left-hander Hoby Milner picked up his first save of the season on Wednesday, coming on to record the final out of his team's 5-4 win over the San Diego Padres. Milner has been effective out of the Chicago pen in the early-going of 2026, pitching to a 2.40 ERA and 0.93 WHIP with five strikeouts across 15 innings pitched. With Cubs closer Daniel Palencia (lat) currently on the injured list due to a lat strain, Milner could be part of the group Cubs manager Craig Counsell relies upon for saves. However, Palencia could return to the mound as soon as Friday, which could mean Milner's chance to work in the ninth inning is short-lived. In leagues with daily moves or if Palencia's return ends up being delayed, Milner could be worth targeting on the waiver wire.
