Caleb Thielbar Placed on Paternity List, Out for Chicago Cubs

Caleb Thielbar will miss the upcoming game against the New York Mets at Citi Field. He has pitched in 16 games this season with an ERA of 3.29 over 13 2/3 innings. His absence may affect the bullpen, with Julian Merryweather and Brad Keller being key relief pitchers for the Cubs.

Thielbar's recent performance on the road shows an ERA of 13.5 and a WHIP of 2.92. In his last five games, he has a K/9 rate of 18.9 but has not secured any saves. The Cubs will rely on other relievers to fill the gap in his absence.
