Shota Imanaga of Chicago Cubs Placed on 15-Day Injured List Due to Left Hamstring Strain
Shota Imanaga of the Chicago Cubs is on the 15-day injured list due to a left hamstring strain, with a return expected in mid-June.
What It Means
Shota Imanaga's absence may impact the Cubs' rotation. He has a solid ERA of 2.82 over eight starts this season. His strikeout rate is 6.8 K/9, which has helped the team in previous games.
Without Imanaga, the Cubs may rely on other starters like Jameson Taillon and Cade Horton. These players will need to step up in his absence. The upcoming game against the Rockies at Wrigley Field might test the pitching depth of the Cubs.
