Cubs face starting pitcher shortage as Wade Miley goes on IL, doubleheaders appraoch
The Cubs placed left-hander Wade Miley on the 15-day IL with a left shoulder strain.Navigating 11 games in nine days was always going to be a challenge for the Cubs. Their starting pitching situation got a little more complicated on Sunday as they placed lefty Wade Miley on the 15-day injured list with what they called a left shoulder strain.
Miley, who called the issue “dead arm,” something he was familiar with from spring training progressions past, had hoped to avoid the IL and start next week. But after Miley’s pregame work Sunday, the Cubs made the roster move, retroactive to Thursday.
“He’ll be back soon,” Ross said. “I’m not too worried.”
