The Cubs put right-hander Porter Hodge on the 15-day injured list with a right shoulder impingement and recalled reliever Ethan Roberts from Triple-A Iowa, the team announced Wednesday.

“After talking to Porter, digging into some of our stuff that we track, just don’t think he’s 100% right,” manager Craig Counsell said. "... We don’t think it’s the right time for Porter to try to push through. And so we’re going to take a little break here, and do some strengthening. And don’t anticipate him to be down long, and don’t really anticipate him to stop throwing.
