Porter Hodge Heading Back to Injured List With Shoulder Injury
The Chicago Cubs placed right-handed reliever Porter Hodge (shoulder) on the 15-day injured list on Wednesday with a shoulder injury, according to manager Craig Counsell. Pitcher Ethan Roberts will be recalled from the minors in a corresponding move. "I don't think it's anything major, but we're dealing with a little shoulder stuff -- we got to get it out of there and have him clear-headed," Counsell says. The 24-year-old missed time earlier this year with hip and oblique injuries, but now he's back on the shelf and may not be ready to return until August. In just one-third of an inning of work in Tuesday's loss to the Minnesota Twins, Hodge surrendered six earned runs on five hits (three homers) while walking one and striking out one. He's had a roughs second year in the majors between his injuries and a bloated 6.85 ERA.
