The Cubs placed Frank Schwindel on the 10-day IL on Saturday with a lower back strain. The team recalled Alfonso Rivas from Triple-A. (Jordan Bastian on Twitter)
Fantasy Impact:
Schwindel was removed from Friday's game after coming up limping after running down the first base line. A lower back strain probably isn't overly serious, but the fact that the Cubs put Schwindel on the IL quickly likely means he'll need a bit more than the 10 days to recover. Schwindel's upside isn't high enough to warrant holding him for any remotely lengthy absence so monitor the news from the Cubs over the next week.
