Nick Madrigal - Exits with groin tightness Madrigal was removed from Friday's loss to the Yankees due to groin tightness, Meghan Montemurro of the Chicago Tribune reports.

Impact Madrigal started Friday's matchup and went 2-for-5 with a strikeout prior to his departure in the bottom of the 12th inning. He should tentatively be considered day-to-day, but Andrelton Simmons and Jonathan Villar are likely in line for additional playing time if Madrigal misses time.

Wade Miley - Exits with trainer Miley was removed from Friday's game against the Yankees prior to the bottom of the fourth inning due to left shoulder soreness, Meghan Montemurro of the Chicago Tribune reports.

Impact Miley was effective early in Friday's matchup, allowing three hits and a walk while striking out two in three scoreless innings. He threw 30 of his 42 pitches for strikes but was removed from the game after he was visited by a trainer while warming up in the middle of the fourth inning. The southpaw was activated from the injured list prior to Friday's start after missing nearly three weeks with a left shoulder strain, so it's concerning to see the issue pop up during his return to the mound. It's not yet clear whether Miley will require another trip to the injured list.

Kyle Hendricks - Throws bullpen Friday Manager David Ross said that Hendricks has been "dealing with some stuff" but threw a bullpen session Friday, Meghan Montemurro of the Chicago Tribune reports.

Impact Hendricks hasn't started since June 1, and the team has apparently given him extra rest due to an apparent injury. However, Ross didn't sound too concerned about Hendricks' injury and said that the right-hander will "pitch in the near future." While the 32-year-old isn't starting Friday or Saturday against the Yankees, he'll likely be in the mix to start during Sunday's series finale or sometime next week against the Padres.

Impact Gomes has been out just over two weeks with a strained left oblique, and he'll rejoin the big-league roster without the need for a minor-league rehab assignment. The 34-year-old has a .651 OPS in 24 games this season and should reclaim No. 2 catching duties behind starter Willson Contreras.

Marcus Stroman - Out with shoulder inflammation Stroman was placed on the 15-day injured list Friday with right shoulder inflammation, Gordon Wittenmyer of NBC Sports Chicago reports. The move is retroactive to June 7.

Impact Stroman wasn't listed among Chicago's probable starters for this weekend despite having Wednesday's start rained out, and the shoulder injury explains his absence. The right-hander apparently had the issue crop up while throwing in the bullpen during the rain delay, and he'll now be unavailable for the next two weeks. Wade Miley (shoulder) was activated from the injured list in a corresponding move and will slide into Stroman's spot in the rotation.

Wade Miley - Reinstated for Friday's start Miley (shoulder) was activated from the 15-day injured list ahead of his start against the Yankees on Friday, Gordon Wittenmyer of NBC Sports Chicago reports.
