Chicago placed Burdi on the 15-day injured list Wednesday after he underwent an appendectomy earlier in the day, Jordan Bastian of MLB.com reports.
Burdi will be sidelined for at least the next couple of weeks while he recovers from the emergency procedure. The Cubs called up right-hander Javier Assad from Triple-A Iowa to take Burdi's spot in the bullpen.
