Porter Hodge Injury: Officially placed on 15-day IL

The Cubs placed Hodge (oblique) on the 15-day injured list Tuesday.

Hodge has been diagnosed with a left oblique strain and will miss at least the next couple weeks. In a corresponding move, the Cubs recalled Ethan Roberts from Triple-A Iowa. With Hodge sidelined, Daniel Palencia got the save chance Monday against the Marlins but blew it, surrendering a pair of earned runs on two hits and one walk across two-thirds of an inning. Ryan Pressly should also vie for save opportunities.
