<p>The <a class="Link" href="https://chicago.suntimes.com/cubs" >Cubs</a> can’t shake <a class="Link" href="https://chicago.suntimes.com/cubs/2026/09/02/cubs-bullpen-relief-pitchers-stats-daniel-palencia-jacob-webb-trent-thornton-justin-steele-javier-assad-edward-cabrera-pedro-ramirez" >their bullpen blues</a>.</p><p>Even on a night the Cubs’ bats did the unthinkable and scorched Cy Young favorite <b>Jacob Misiorowski</b> for five runs – the Brewers’ fireballing ace hadn’t given up more than three earned runs in a start this season – the story was what the team’s pitching staff couldn’t do in a 9-5 loss: keep their division-leading rivals at bay.</p><p>Lefty starter <b>David Peterson</b> was the main culprit, coughing up a 5-3 lead and getting tagged for six runs without getting out of the fourth inning.</p><p>But a relief corps that has struggled lately grabbed negative headlines again, with righty closer <b>Jacob Webb</b> knocked out of the game in the top of the ninth inning after taking a line-drive comebacker off his right forearm.</p><p>Manager <b>Craig Counsell</b> updated after the game that X-rays were negative.</p><p>Though he’s been the team’s top reliever this season, Webb – who was charged with a couple runs after departing Wednesday – has contributed the loudest moments of a sour stretch for the bullpen, <a class="Link" href="https://chicago.suntimes.com/cubs/2026/08/26/cubs-walk-off-loss-diamondbacks-clay-holmes-kevin-gausman-daniel-palencia-jacob-webb-bullpen" >surrendering walk-off homers in consecutive appearances</a> on the Cubs’ most recent road trip.</p><p>But he hasn’t been alone, with righty <b>Trent Thornton</b> tagged for six runs in two outings against the Reds last weekend and <b>Daniel Palencia</b> balking a runner home and allowing a game-flipping homer in Tuesday’s loss.</p><p>Palencia gave up a run Wednesday, too, and he’s got a 14.54 ERA in five outings since returning from the IL.</p><p>“We need Daniel. The results have not been good,” Counsell said after the game. “The best thing we can do is get him out there as much as we can.</p><p>“We need our bullpen guys to get outs, and Daniel’s one of the key guys we need to get going. We’re going to keep putting him out there.”</p><p>There will be more to come on Webb’s status, but any missed time would be a big problem for the Cubs as they look to right their relief ship in time to count on their bullpen arms in the postseason.</p><p>“Hopefully he can get back soon,” third baseman <b>Alex Bregman</b> said.</p><p><b>Making a mess of ‘The Miz’</b></p><p>He’s “The Miz” and nobody beats him?</p><p>Most days. But not Wednesday.</p><p>The Cubs struck early, with Bregman smacking a two-run, first-inning homer. Outfielder <b>Tyrone Taylor</b>’s RBI single and a Bregman two-out, two-run base hit added three runs in the second.</p><p>Though the Cubs started the day with baseball’s highest scoring offense, they’d faced Misiorowski twice previously this summer and managed only one run against him in 12 innings.</p><p>This time, they chased him from the game after four innings, matching his shortest start of the campaign.</p><p>“It was a pass-the-line night against Misiorowski,” Counsell said, “and that’s a pretty darn good job.”</p><p>They weren’t as successful against the Brewers’ bullpen, though, mustering only two hits after the second inning, and the Cubs fell to nine games back in the NL Central standings.</p>
