The Chicago Cubs have placed Jon Lieber on the D.L.
The Cubs have placed righty swingman Jon Lieber on the 15-day disabled list with a right foot sprain. Lieber has pitched in 25 games (1 start) for the Cubs this season and he is 2-3 with a 3.43 ERA and a 1.37 WHIP. This injury will hurt the Cubs some as Lieber was a good long reliever and spot starter. They were smart to acquire Chad Gaudin last week from the A’s as he will assume Lieber’s old role going forward.
