Brett Anderson Placed on DL
Brett Anderson was placed on the disabled list with a lower back strain.
The Chicago Cubs made the announcement on Sunday a day after Anderson was hit hard by the New York Yankees. Anderson was only able to get one batter out from the Yankees' lineup, and he gave up five runs. It has been a rocky start for Anderson over his last two starts and the Cubs had no choice but to do something about it.
Anderson is no stranger to back injuries as he has already had two back surgeries. Unfortunately he is injury prone and has been since he was with the Oakland A's back in 2009. Anderson felt tightness in his back over the last several games and clearly needs time to rest and get checked out before any further issues arise.
The Cubs are having issues with their entire pitching staff right now and are looking for a positive change.
