The Chicago Cubs have placed right-hander Michael Soroka on the 15-day injured list with a right shoulder strain after lasting just two innings in his first start since being traded from Washington.

Starting pitcher Michael Soroka is heading to the injured list after exiting his first start as a member of the Chicago Cubs early on Monday.

New Chicago Cubs starter Mike Soroka left his first game with his new team with right shoulder discomfort and will require a stint on the injured list.
