CHICAGO -- The Chicago Cubs placed outfielder Jason Heyward on the injured list with no designation and selected left-handed pitcher Brandon Hughes from Triple-A Iowa on Tuesday.
Manager David Ross said Heyward is "doing OK" and added "he had some real stuff" that included body aches and hydration issues. Heyward, a five-time Gold Glove winner, is batting .208 with four RBI in 27 games this season.
Heyward would be the third Cub recently put on the IL with no designation, usually signaling a positive test for COVID-19. Right-handers Marcus Stroman and David Robertson also have been sidelined.
