Chicago Cubs starter Shota Imanaga was placed on the 15-day injured list on Monday due to a left hamstring strain. He suffered the injury during Chicago's 4-0 loss to the Milwaukee Brewers on Sunday. In the bottom of the sixth inning, Imanaga grabbed his hamstring after running towards first base in an attempt to turn a double play.

Chicago's bullpen subsequently allowed a pair of inherited runners to score, impacting Imanaga's line for the worse. The book closed on his afternoon with him surrendering two runs on four hits and a walk. He also struck out four of the 22 batters he faced.
