After 4 dominant innings in his MLB debut on Thursday night, Adbert Alzolay will make his 1st MLB start on Tuesday against the Braves!
Maddon: Alzolay will start on Tuesday vs. Braves

Alzolay was on a roll against the Mets. He struck out 5 in 4.0 one-hit innings in his MLB debut out of the bullpen.
He was a starter this year in Iowa, posting a 1.93 ERA in his last 5 starts. Alzolay will look to continue that trend for the big league Cubs on Tuesday.
With Alzolay joining the starting rotation, and Chatwood slated to pitch again, the Cubs will have a 6-man rotation. That will help a lot during this no off-day stretch.
Rotation for Braves series: Lester (Mon), Alzolay (Tue), Darvish (Wed) and Chatwood (Thu). Adding sixth starter builds in extra rest day for rotation in this 17-game stretch with no team off-days.
