CHICAGO -- The Cubs placed closer Brandon Morrow on the 10-day disabled list retroactive to June 17 because of tightness in his back and will keep Justin Hancock on the roster. Hancock was the 26th man added for Tuesday's doubleheader.

Morrow injured his back taking his pants off early Monday when he got home after the Cubs' road trip.
