The Cubs’ roster moves Wednesday unveiled a contributing factor in right-hander Marcus Stroman’s recent struggles on the mound.

They put him on the 15-day injured list with inflammation in his right hip, making room on the roster for trade deadline addition José Cuas to join the bullpen.

“Beyond frustrating,” Stroman said of his recent results. “Because I do so much in between starts to get right and to focus on things. And when everything you’re doing is not fixing [it,] I feel like I just had to go to the root of the problem rather than trying to get around it.
