RHP Adbert Alzolay (left hamstring strain)
Expected return: Late August
Manager David Ross noted that Alzolay threw a bullpen session on Aug. 20 and "everything went well," which will allow the team to build out a schedule for the coming days. Ross said his hope is that Alzolay is "not too far away" from being cleared for activation. That mound workout came after the righty did a light mound session on Aug. 18 in Cincinnati with no issues. Alzolay left his Aug. 13 start early with the hamstring issue and will be eligible for activation as early as Aug. 24 vs. Rockies.
Alzolay, 26, has a 5.16 ERA in 21 starts for the Cubs this season. He has struck out 107 batters and walked just 32 in 106 1/3 innings.

Well this is a bit of a theory. He does a mound session on the same day Davies throws? It could mean something. When it comes to Jed I really don't bet on much though.
