Cubs roster move Marcus Stroman placed on injured list

As if the Cubs don't have enough problems, they have lost tonight's scheduled starter, Marcus Stroman:

Cubs moves…

• Stroman placed on IL (no designation)
• Steele starts tonight, Hendricks Mon
• Schwindel optioned to AAA Iowa
• Sampson selected from AAA Iowa— Jordan Bastian (@MLBastian) May 8, 2022

Usually -- but not always -- an IL placement with no designation means COVID-19. That's the only speculation I'll make.

Another story here is the shipment of Frank Schwindel to Triple-A Iowa. He's not hitting, and the team needs hitting.
