Uehara was removed from Tuesday's game with neck stiffness, Mark Gonzales of the Chicago Tribune reports.

EDGE Analysis

The 42-year-old allowed the first two batters he faced to reach base before exiting the game with a trainer. Hector Rondon, meanwhile, was unavailable due to back stiffness. Neither issue is considered serious, but if Uehara and Rondon both need more time, it will leave the Cubs' bullpen a bit thin for Wednesday's series finale.
