The Chicago Cubs placed right-hander Edward Cabrera on the 15-day injured list Sunday due to a blister on the middle finger of his pitching hand.
The move is retroactive to Thursday. Left-hander Jordan Wicks was called up from Triple-A Iowa to fill Cabrera's roster spot for the Cubs, who entered Sunday's game against the Houston Astros at 29-23 and in third place in the National League Central amid a seven-game losing streak.
Cabrera, 28, is 3-2 with a 4.00 ERA in 10 games (all starts) this season.
The Cubs also are without left-hander Matthew Boyd, who underwent left knee surgery on May 7. Boyd simulated multiple innings off the mound on Friday and is scheduled to face hitters this week in a live batting-practice session during a four-game series in Pittsburgh.
Chicago already has lost right-hander Cade Horton (elbow surgery) for the remainder of this season and might not have left-hander Justin Steele (left flexor strain) back until the second half.
Wicks went 0-1 with a 6.28 ERA in eight games for the Cubs last season and was 0-2 with a 4.44 ERA in seven Triple-A starts this season.
