Junior Lake is dealing with a sore right shoulder.

It's not clear how long he'll be sidelined, but Lake isn't going to make the roster, anyway. He could begin the year at Triple-A.

Cubs purchased the contract of INF Junior Lake from Double-A Tennessee.

Lake, 21, batted .279/.316/.434 with 12 homers, 51 RBI, 38 stolen bases and a .750 OPS over 478 plate appearances this season between High-A Daytona and Double-A Tennessee. He has played well during the Arizona Fall League, but his hacktastic approach makes him a very polarizing prospect. In fact, some wonder if he'd be better off on the mound.
