The Chicago Cubs have been waiting for first baseman Anthony Rizzo’s back to heal up, but it appears that he’ll need a bit more time.

According to the MLB transaction wire, Rizzo was placed on the 10-day disabled list on Monday afternoon, retroactive to April 6.

The return of baseball in Chicago usually means spring is upon us. But this year’s Cubs home opener looks to be a bit different. NBC 5’s Sandra Torres reports.

Rizzo, who has missed the Cubs’ last three games, said he suffered the injury during the team’s series against the Cincinnati Reds, and the injury flared up when he played Thursday against the Milwaukee Brewers.

A corresponding roster move was not announced by the team.
