Chicago placed the two-time All-Star on the 10-day injured list
Monday with a left oblique strain he suffered during Sunday’s
loss to St. Louis. Manager Craig Counsell said he expects
Swanson to miss about four weeks.
Second baseman Nico Hoerner moved over to shortstop for Monday
night's game against the crosstown White Sox at Wrigley Field.
Swanson is hitting .216 with 18 homers and 66 RBIs in 119 games
this season.
Cubs make several roster moves
Also Monday, Chicago placed right-hander Edward Cabrera on the
15-day injured list with a right middle finger blister. He made
his first start since June 23 — he was sidelined with a
hamstring injury — on Sunday but lasted just 3 2/3 innings and
took the loss.
Right-hander Daniel Palencia, who has been out for more than two
months with an elbow injury, was moved to the 60-day IL in a
procedural move. He’s expected to rejoin the bullpen soon.
The Cubs recalled outfielder Kevin Alcantara and right-hander
Javier Assad from Triple-A Iowa and purchased the contract of
infielder Owen Miller from Iowa. Miller signed as a free agent
during the offseason after playing last season with Colorado.
