Cedeno (arm) was moved to the 60-day injured list Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
Cedeno has already been on the shelf for over 60 days, so this appears to be simply procedural. The Cubs will be able to add David Phelps to the 40-man roster following Tuesday's move.

Cedeno (wrist) recently had his rehab assignment at Triple-A Iowa shut down while he experienced some arm soreness, Jordan Bastian of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Cedeno was initially placed on the 10-day injured list in late May with what was labeled as left wrist inflammation, but a different injury looks to be the greater concern for him at this point. He's now been pulled off rehab assignments on two occasions and is without a clear timeline to resume throwing, much less make his way back from the IL.

Cedeno (wrist) began a rehab assignment Sunday with Triple-A Iowa, tossing a scoreless 18-pitch inning.
EDGE Analysis
Cedeno retired three of the four batters he faced, working around a walk to turn in a clean frame. Considering that Cedeno's left wrist has proven bothersome since spring training, the Cubs may want him to complete another appearance or two in the minors before bringing him back from the 10-day injured list.

Cedeno was placed on the 10-day injured list with left wrist inflammation Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
The same injury prevented Cedeno from making his season debut until May 11. He threw two scoreless innings but had a 3.50 WHIP in five appearances before landing back on the injured list. Rowan Wick was recalled to take his place in the bullpen.

Cedeno (wrist) was activated from the injured list Saturday, Jordan Bastian of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Cedeno has yet to pitch in a big-league game for the Cubs because of his injury, but he is ready to go after making 10 appearances in the minors. Cedeno will pitch out of the bullpen and figures to mainly work situationally when manager Joe Maddon wants to bring in a southpaw to face an opposing left-handed hitter or two.

Cedeno (wrist) will begin a minor-league rehab assignment with Double-A Tennessee on Thursday, Mark Gonzales of the Chicago Tribune reports.
EDGE Analysis
Cedeno has been nursing a left wrist injury since early March but is finally ready to get back into game action. While he's seemingly inching closer to a return, the number of rehab appearances Cedeno will need to make before being cleared to join the Cubs has yet to be determined.

Cedeno (wrist) will pitch in an extended spring training game in Arizona on Friday, Jordan Bastian of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
President of baseball operations Theo Epstein said at the start of the week that Cedeno was close to beginning a rehab assignment, but for now he remains at extended spring training. The 32-year-old has been nursing the left wrist injury since early March, but he appears to be nearing his return given he has resumed facing live hitters.

President of baseball operations Theo Epstein said Monday that Cedeno (wrist) is close to beginning a rehab assignment, Mark Gonzales of the Chicago Tribune reports.
EDGE Analysis
Cedeno missed most of spring training with a left wrist injury, but Epstein's comments suggest the reliever has resumed facing hitters again or should within the next few days. The 32-year-old seemingly has a realistic shot of returning from the 10-day injured list at some point in the second half of April.

Cedeno was placed on the 10-day IL, Jordan Bastian of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
He hasn't had time to build back up in time for Opening Day after being shut down in mid March. Cedeno could require a rehab assignment before joining the big-league bullpen.
