Hoby Milner - Will miss 4-6 weeks Milner (abdomen) will be sidelined 4-6 weeks after receiving emergency appendectomy surgery on Friday, Bruce Levine of 670TheScore.com reports.

Impact Milner will miss a chunk of time after undergoing emergency surgery on his appendicitis Friday. If the 35-year-old misses the minimum four weeks, he could be back by the end of July or start of August. The Cubs bullpen has been heavily dismayed by injuries this season with Phil Maton (knee), Riley Martin (elbow) and Hunter Harvey (triceps) all currently on the injured list.

Tyler Ferguson - Recalled from Iowa The Cubs recalled Ferguson from Triple-A Iowa on Saturday, Taylor McGregor of Marquee Sports Network reports.

Impact Ferguson was sent back to Triple-A after throwing two shutout innings during Wednesday's doubleheader against the Mets, but he'll now rejoin the big club to replace Hoby Milner (abdomen). The 32-year-old Ferguson will likely be limited to low-leverage opportunities while with the Cubs.
