Cubs' David Bote: Placed on 60-day IL

Bote (shoulder) was placed on the 60-day injured list Saturday, Jordan Bastian of MLB.com reports.

Bote had already been ruled out for the first month of the season due to his left shoulder surgery that he underwent during the offseason, and he'll be unable to make his 2022 debut until at least early June. Once the 28-year-old returns to full health, he'll have to compete for at-bats since the Cubs now have Andrelton Simmons, Nick Madrigal (hamstring) and Jonathan Villar in the fold.
