Shota Imanaga of the Chicago Cubs Placed on 15-Day Injured List Due to Left Hamstring Strain, Expected Return in Mid-June

Shota Imanaga's absence will affect the Chicago Cubs' starting rotation. Imanaga has been a key pitcher, starting in 8 games with a 3-2 record and an ERA of 2.82. His presence on the mound will be missed as the Cubs face upcoming games.

With Imanaga out, the Cubs may rely more on pitchers like Jameson Taillon and Cade Horton. The team will need to adjust its rotation while Imanaga recovers. This situation could impact the Cubs' pitching strategy in the coming weeks.
