The Cubs announced Tuesday that they have placed outfielder Jake Marisnick on the 10-day injured list retroactive to May 10 with a right hamstring strain. He sustained the injury while running down a pop fly that eventually landed for a soft single in the frustrating 1st inning of Sunday’s loss.
It’ll be tough to fill the void left by Marisnick, who is hitting .264 with three doubles, two triples, four home runs, and 14 RBI in 27 games. He has played much better than anticipated and was serving in more of an everyday role due to other injuries.
