Shota Imanaga’s recovery and rehab process will be measured in weeks, not days, as the Chicago Cubs cautiously handle the injury.

The Chicago Cubs are going to be cautious with Shota Imanaga while the left-hander recovers from his first hamstring injury. Imanaga was placed on the 15-day injured list on Monday with a mild strained left hamstring.

The Chicago Cubs have been on a roll to start the season, but they appeared to hit a bump in the road this past Sunday against the Milwaukee Brewers when star pitcher Shota Imanaga had to exit the game early due to injury.
