This will be Dempster’s second stint on the DL this season. He was out of action back in April with a right quad strain.

The 35-year-old Dempster is 3-3 on the year with a 2.11 ERA. He has struck out 66 batters in 81 innings of work.

The Cubs recalled left-hander Scott Maine from Triple-A Iowa to take Dempster’s spot on the roster.
