After throwing a scoreless inning of relief in Tuesday night’s game in Pittsburgh, the Cubs “string bean slinger” felt some discomfort that led to an MRI Wednesday morning.
Results revealed mild inflammation in CJ’s throwing shoulder, and the Cubs have subsequently placed him on the 10-day disabled list. RHP Cory Mazzoni, who has appeared in one game for the Cubs this season, has been called up to take Edwards’ place.
The #Cubs today placed RHP Carl Edwards Jr. on the 10-day DL with right shoulder inflammation and recalled RHP Cory Mazzoni from @IowaCubs.
