CHICAGO (AP) — The Chicago Cubs have placed left-handed pitcher Jordan Wicks on the 15-day injured list with a right oblique strain. The move Friday was retroactive to Sept. 18. The Cubs recalled right-handed pitcher Trey Wingenter from Triple-A Iowa. They also activated right-hander Hayden Wesneski from the 15-day IL (right forearm strain) and designated RHP Shawn Armstrong for assignment. Wesneski has been out since July 20.
