The Cubs are placing righty Ryan Brasier on the injured list with a hip injury today, sources confirmed with CI. Brasier was acquired in February from the Dodgers for cash considerations, adding to the depth of what should be a strong bullpen.

The 37-year-old reliever has had a rough spring, posting an 8.31 ERA in 4.1 innings. He threw a clean inning against the Hanshin Tigers in Tokyo, retiring the side on 11 pitches, but then needed 30 pitches to get through a one-run frame against his old team a few days later.
