Cubs Place RHP Edward Cabrera on 15-Day IL with Finger Blister

The move further thins Chicago's rotation as Jordan Wicks returns from Triple-A Iowa to fill Cabrera's spot.

  • On Sunday, the Chicago Cubs placed starting pitcher Edward Cabrera on the 15-day injured list, retroactive to May 21, due to a blister on his right middle finger.
  • Cabrera exited his start against the Milwaukee Brewers on May 20 after three-plus innings because of the blister; Manager Craig Counsell confirmed the ailment necessitated the roster move.
  • Chicago's rotation, already missing Cade Horton, Justin Steele, and Matthew Boyd, has struggled, losing 11 of its last 13 games amid mounting injuries.
  • To fill the vacancy, the Cubs recalled left-hander Jordan Wicks from Triple-A Iowa, where he recently allowed one run over 11 innings in his last two starts.
  • Roster Resource projects Wicks to make his season debut on Tuesday, May 26, against the Houston Astros, serving as a rotation stopgap while Cabrera recovers.
