Cubs placed LHP Hoby Milner on the 15-day injured list with appendicitis.

He underwent surgery this morning. Milner makes for an even dozen Cubs pitchers on the major league injured list. Even though his strikeout rate is all of the way down to 12 percent, the veteran southpaw has a 3.53 ERA in 35 2/3 innings this season. Expect him back soon after the All-Star break.
