MILWAUKEE -- Chicago Cubs right-hander Kyle Hendricks was placed on the 15-day injured list Wednesday with a strained right shoulder after leaving his Tuesday night start early due to soreness in the shoulder.
Hendricks had his shortest start of the season, lasting just three innings in the Cubs' 8-3 victory over the Milwaukee Brewers. He threw 69 pitches and his velocity was lower than usual.
The 32-year-old Hendricks said Tuesday night that he felt fine before the game but could tell something was off as soon as he threw his first warm-up pitch at the start of the game.
