The Chicago Cubs have placed left-handed pitcher Jordan Wicks on the 15-day injured list due to a right oblique strain, recalling right-hander Trey Wingenter from Triple-A Iowa in his stead.

Wicks had recently returned from the 60-day injured list and had a rough outing, going 1-2 with a 7.50 ERA over four starts. Meanwhile, Hayden Wesneski was activated from the 15-day IL after recovering from a right forearm strain. The Cubs are currently competing for a wild card spot, trailing the New York Mets by seven games.
