Chicago Cubs Place Jordan Wicks on 15-Day IL Due to Forearm Strain

The injury adds to the team's growing list of sidelined starting pitchers early in the season.

Jordan Wicks was placed on the 15-day injured list with a forearm strain, marking the third Cubs starter to be sidelined.
Manager Craig Counsell emphasized a cautious approach, hoping the early intervention will lead to a short recovery period.
Wicks experienced initial soreness during warm-ups before his last start, which did not improve with rest.
The Cubs made several bullpen adjustments, including recalling Daniel Palencia and promoting Richard Lovelady.
Cubs' Cody Bellinger progresses in rehab from a rib fracture, aiming for a quick return.
