The bad news is that All-Star outfielder Ian Happ is heading to the injured list. The 30-year-old leadoff man has missed the Cubs' last three games with an oblique injury and will now be out awhile longer. On the plus side, Chicago is calling up one of its top prospects to replace him in the lineup.

The Chicago Cubs have placed starting pitcher Shota Imanaga on the 15-day injured list, dealing another blow to their rotation.

Miguel Amaya kept the rally rolling with a double. Then with two outs, Kyle Tucker hit a triple into the right-field corner, extending the Cubs’ lead to three runs. Right behind him, Seiya Suzuki blasted a home run to left-center field to put the Cubs up 5-0.

After a recent injury to Cubs star Shota Imanaga, Cubs manager Craig Counsell provided an update on his status.

Per Tommy Birch of The Des Moines Register, pitcher Cade Horton is expected to join the Cubs for their series against the New York Mets on the road this weekend. Horton, 23, is the No. 2 player in Chicago's farm system, per MLB.com.
