The Chicago Cubs have placed reliever Hoby Milner on the 15-day injured list due to appendicitis, effective Saturday. Milner experienced severe stomach pain overnight and underwent surgery the following morning. He had appeared in a team-leading 38 games, holding a 3.55 ERA. In a corresponding move, right-hander Tyler Ferguson has been recalled from Triple-A Iowa. The Cubs continue to struggle with an injury-riddled pitching staff, with multiple starters currently on the injured list, including Edward Cabrera and Justin Steele. Bryse Wilson has also been activated after being claimed from waivers this week.
