As the Cubs announced their Opening Day roster, they also placed three players on the 10-day injured list.
Along with lefty Wade Miley (left elbow inflammation) and shortstop Andrelton Simmons (right shoulder inflammation), who were dealing with injury in the last weeks of camp, the Cubs placed Alec Mills (low back strain) on the IL, all three retroactive to April 4.
Carrying 14 position players, the Cubs broke camp with all six outfielders who were vying for spots on the roster.
The infield mix included Alfonso Rivas, who made the Opening Day roster for the first time in his career and gives the Cubs depth at first base and even outfield if they need it.
