The Chicago Cubs today placed infielder Edwin Rios on the 10-day injured list (retroactive to June 4) with a left groin strain and recalled right-handed pitcher Michael Rucker from Triple-A Iowa.
Okay, I have to say this, think of it whatever you wish. Rios has played one game since May 31. He went 0-for-3 Saturday vs. the Padres. When did this “groin strain” happen? The June 3 game, I guess, but...
You can answer in whatever way you wish.
Rucker begins his second stint with the club. Previously, he posted a 5.48 ERA and 1.739 WHIP in 20 relief appearances (23 innings) with nine walks and 25 strikeouts.
