Cubs pitcher Neil Ramirez left Wednesday's 5-0 win over the Reds with shoulder discomfort, according to ESPN Chicago.
Ramirez threw three pitches and was replaced by Brian Schlitter in the ninth inning. Manager Joe Maddon wasn't overly optimistic about the status of Ramirez's injury.
"Nothing real positive but we'll see," Maddon said.
Ramirez is scheduled for an MRI on Thursday with the likelihood of knowing what's wrong with his shoulder happening Friday.
“The 90 mile an hour fastball was well below his thing, so something was obviously not well with him," Maddon said, via MLB.com.
