CHICAGO -- The Chicago Cubs placed set-up reliever Mark Leiter Jr on the injured list with a right forearm strain, the team announced Sunday.
Leiter, 33, struggled recently, giving up eight runs over his last four appearances before going down with the injury.
His ailment is significant as he was the team's best reliever when coming into the game mid-inning. Just three of 20 inherited runners have scored off him this season -- though his ERA ballooned with his most recent outings. Overall, he was 2-4 with a 5.
