Overview
- Cincinnati placed Emilio Pagán on the injured list with a left hamstring strain after he collapsed one pitch into the ninth at Wrigley Field.
- The game in Chicago, which ended Tuesday on Michael Busch’s walk-off single in the 10th, slipped away after a grounder skipped past shortstop Elly De La Cruz.
- Manager Terry Francona said Pagán would undergo imaging and had signaled an IL move was coming based on the severity of the injury.
- Pagán’s injury follows a rough stretch for the veteran, who entered with a 6.43 ERA and had yielded a Michael Conforto walk-off home run the previous night.
- The Reds adjusted their pitching staff by activating Pierce Johnson, selecting Tejay Antone’s contract, optioning Chase Petty, and transferring Brandon Williamson to the 60-day IL.
