SAN FRANCISCO -- A day after Cubs reliever Koji Uehara exited the seventh inning early with an injury, the right-hander was placed on the 10-day disabled list with a neck strain.

In a corresponding roster move, the Cubs recalled right-handed reliever Justin Grimm from Triple-A Iowa. Grimm is making his fourth appearance this season on the 25-man roster.

"We just wanted to make sure that we calm it down," Cubs manager Joe Maddon said. "He's so important to us moving forward, getting him right in the latter part of the season. … Looking to play in September and October, we want him to be well.
