NEW YORK (AP) — The Chicago Cubs have placed pitcher Wade Miley on the injured list with a left shoulder strain, one day after the veteran was activated. Miley threw 30 of 42 pitches for strikes in three scoreless innings Friday night at Yankee Stadium. He was pulled after throwing a few warmup pitches to start the fourth. The 35-year-old Miley said he was injured throwing a pitch to Josh Donaldson in the second inning of a 2-1, 13-inning loss to New York.

— Los Angeles Dodgers ace Walker Buehler was placed on the 15-day injured list with a right forearm strain, and the team awaited MRI results to determine the severity, Buehler left Friday night’s start at San Francisco after four innings when his elbow began bothering him. Buehler said he’s dealt with occasional soreness in his elbow in recent years, and he expressed concern. The 27-year-old underwent Tommy John surgery in 2015, shortly after Los Angeles selected him from Vanderbilt with the 24th overall pick in the amateur draft. A two-time All-Star, Buehler is 6-3 with a 4.02 ERA in 12 starts.
