The Chicago Cubs placed third baseman Kris Bryant on the 10-day disabled list Thursday retroactive to July 24 with left shoulder inflammation.
In a corresponding move, the Cubs recalled infielder David Bote from Triple-A.
Bryant was placed on the disabled list for the first time in his career earlier this season due to inflammation in the same shoulder.
Prior to going on the DL, Bryant was struggling to hit for power. The 2016 National League MVP has a strong .276/.380/.474 slash line, but his slugging percentage is the lowest of his career.
