The Cubs put left-hander Jose Quintana on the 10-day injured list Wednesday with inflammation in his left lat.
In a corresponding move, they recalled right-hander Jason Adam from their alternate site in South Bend, Indiana. Adam has no record but has a 7.36 ERA in three appearances with the Cubs this season.
“I think how hard he had to work his last inning in Cincinnati is when I found out about it,” manager David Ross said. “I don’t know if it happened the inning before or during that inning. [He] just thought it was some normal soreness and tightness.
