The Chicago Cubs have placed shortstop Addison Russell on the 10-day disabled list. Left-handed pitcher Rob Zastryzny has been called up to take Russell’s spot on the 25-man roster.
Russell’s 10-day stint is retroactive to Aug. 2. The young shortstop is going on the DL because of a strained right foot.
