CHICAGO (AP) -Cubs pinch-hitter Daryle Ward was placed on the 15-day disabled list with a bulging disc in his back Sunday, and Chicago selected the contract of Micah Hoffpauir from Triple-A Iowa.
Ward is 5-for-25 with one home run and six RBIs. He has been out since Tuesday with back problems.
In nine games with Iowa, Hoffpauir was 11-for-34 with three home runs and 12 RBIs. He missed 32 games with a strained oblique. Hoffpauir, looking to make his major league debut, is a left-handed hitter and can play first base or the outfield.
