Chicago Cubs make roster move on pitcher after giving up 6 earned runs

The Chicago Cubs made a roster move on Wednesday following an 8-1 loss to the Minnesota Twins on Tuesday in front of 30,384 fans at Target Field. The Cubs’ bullpen and lack of hitting ended the four-game winning streak the team enjoyed before Tuesday night.
Porter Hodge allowed five hits and six earned runs in the eighth inning before Cubs manager Craig Counsell pulled him with only one out.
Following the game, Hodge told reporters that he felt “physically” good and that he believed “something mechanical was going on” that led to the six earned runs.

On Wednesday, Counsell revealed to 670 The Score’s “Spiegel and Holmes” that Hodge wasn’t actually okay physically and that he was being put on the injured list for a shoulder issue.
“I don’t think it’s anything major, but we’re dealing with a little shoulder stuff — we got to get it out of there and have him clear-headed,” Counsell said.

The Cubs plan to call up Ethan Roberts for Hodge.
Hodge has a 6.85 ERA through 23.2 innings pitched in 26 appearances this season.
Roberts has not pitched for Chicago since April 26, when he gave up four earned runs on three hits in two innings pitched in a 10-4 loss to the Philadelphia Phillies. The right-handed relief pitcher has a 5.40 ERA in 8.1 innings pitched in nine appearances this season.
