Chatwood was placed on the 10-day injured list with a right forearm strain Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

Charwood underwent an MRI on Monday that revealed a right forearm strain. He'll officially head to the 10-day injured list, but he'll likely be out much longer. General manager Jed Hoyer was optimistic that the right-hander could return prior to the end of the season, but it's unclear whether he'll recover quickly enough to do so.

Chatwood (elbow) will be placed on the 10-day injured list, Jordan Bastian of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Chatwood underwent an MRI on Monday after leaving Sunday's game with right elbow discomfort. The team is still waiting on the results, but manager Jed Hoyer said that the results revealed "largely good news." He'll spend some time on the injured list, although Hoyer was hopeful that he could return prior to the end of the season. Jose Quintana should fill his role in the starting rotation going forward.

Chatwood was removed from Sunday's game against the Reds with right elbow discomfort, Maddie Lee of NBC Sports Chicago reports.

EDGE Analysis

The 30-year-old suffered the injury during the third inning when he spiked a pitch well in front of the plate. He didn't allow a run over 2.1 innings before exiting the contest. Chatwood doesn't have a timeline for his return but will be further evaluated Monday. Jose Quintana is likely to enter the starting rotation should Chatwood miss any time.

Chatwood was removed during the third inning of Sunday's start against the Reds with an apparent injury, Jordan Bastian of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

The right-hander spiked a breaking ball with one out and immediately called the athletic trainer to the mound. The specifics of the injury remain unclear, but it looked to potentially be an arm or hand issue. The Cubs should update his status later in the day.

Chatwood (2-2) lasted just 1.1 innings and took the loss Tuesday against the Tigers. He allowed two runs on three hits and five walks, while striking out two.

EDGE Analysis

Chatwood wasn't expected to go particularly long in his first start since Aug. 6 due to a back injury, but the team likely wanted him to retire more than four batters. The righty was simply all over the place with the five walks, which surpassed his season total of four coming into the night. When Chatwood has struggled in past seasons, free passes have been a big part of the issue, so he'll need to exhibit better command moving forward if he wants to get back to the form that left him with a 0.71 ERA through his first two starts of the year. He'll now carry a 6.06 ERA into his next outing, which is scheduled for Sunday against the Reds.

Chatwood (back) was activated ahead of his start Tuesday against the Tigers, Jordan Bastian of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Chatwood last gave up eight earned runs in 2.1 innings Aug. 6 against the Royals after being dominant in his first two starts of the season. Jose Quintana (thumb), who was also activated, could piggyback Chatwood in this outing.

Chatwood (back) will be activated from the IL to start Tuesday against the Tigers, Gordon Wittenmyer of NBC Sports Chicago reports.

EDGE Analysis

A back injury forced Chatwood to the injured list earlier this month, and while he has been cleared to toe the rubber Tuesday, he may not be available for a full starter's workload right off the bat. Jose Quintana (finger) will also be activated Tuesday and begin his season in the Cubs' bullpen. Chatwood got off to a great start with a 19:4 K:BB in his first two outings, but his eight-run blowup Aug. 6 against Kansas City was a reminder of the kind of downside he brings to the table.

Chatwood (back) completed a successful bullpen session Saturday, Mark Gonzales of the Chicago Tribune reports.

EDGE Analysis

Chatwood has seemingly moved past the back tightness that resulted in him being scratched ahead of his Aug. 14 start against the Brewers and then placed on the 10-day injured list two days later. The right-hander could be activated and returned to the Chicago rotation as soon as Tuesday's game in Detroit. Jose Quintana (thumb) is also on track to return from the 10-day injured list, so he could be an option for Tuesday's start if the Cubs want to give Chatwood some additional time to ramp up.

Chatwood (back) visited a back specialist and is playing long toss Friday, Russell Dorsey of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.

EDGE Analysis

The diagnosis from the specialist remains unclear, but the fact the right-hander continues to throw is a positive sign. Chatwood will progress to a bullpen session Saturday if all goes well.

The Cubs placed Chatwood (back) on the 10-day injured list Sunday, Patrick Mooney of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Mid-back tightness prevented Chatwood from making his scheduled start Friday against the Brewers, but he was able to play catch Saturday and was expected to be ready to pitch in the first game of Monday's doubleheader with the Cardinals. The Cubs evidently didn't feel Chatwood was in fair enough condition after re-evaluating him Sunday, however, so the right-hander will now miss at least one or two more turns through the rotation while he recovers from the injury. Jose Quintana (thumb) could return from the IL later in the week to take Chatwood's spot in the rotation, but the Cubs will still require a replacement starter for him during one half of Monday's doubleheader. Kyle Hendricks will now take the hill for the first game of the twin bill, but manager David Ross hasn't announced a starter for the second contest.
