The Chicago Cubs placed left-hander Jordan Wicks on the 15-day injured list on Sunday with a strained forearm.

The 27-year-old Wicks was scheduled to start the series finale at Boston, but he was scratched on Saturday.

"There was a forearm issue and I think it made sense for us to be cautious here," Chicago manager Craig Counsell said. "We'll see how it responds over the next week and see where we're at. The hope is maybe we caught this soon enough and it's a short stay."

Wicks is 1-2 with a 5.
