ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. -- Chicago Cubs right-hander Ben Brown was placed on the 15-day injured list on Tuesday with a left neck strain.
Brown, who was acquired in an August 2022 trade with Philadelphia, made his major league debut on March 30 at Texas. The 24-year-old rookie is 1-3 with a 3.58 ERA in 15 games, including eight starts.
The IL stint was made retroactive to Sunday, a day after he allowed three runs and three hits in four innings in a 4-3 loss at Cincinnati.
"He's been kind of battling this over the last couple weeks," Cubs manager Craig Counsell said.
