Cubs roster move: Tyler Chatwood to injured list, Jason Adam activated, Jharel Cotton DFA

Tyler Chatwood was scratched from Saturday’s start due to back problems, but manager David Ross had hoped Chatwood could start one of the doubleheader games Monday against the Cardinals.

That won’t happen, as the team announced Sunday that Chatwood would be placed on the 10-day injured list (retroactive to August 13) with a mid-back strain and that they would add reliever Jason Adam from the team’s alternate site in South Bend.

To make room for Adam on the 40-man roster, Jharel Cotton has been designated for assignment.
