The Trib reports on a Cubs' injury
Ramirez came up with a sore shoulder, and manager Lou Piniella said he wasn’t sure when he’d get in the lineup.
Not a great start to the Cactus League. After years of leg issues, now he has a sore shoulder today. He joins Darlye Ward on the trainer's table. Ronny Cedeno isn't 100% either, so I doubt he'll be asked to make throws from 3rd today with that sore forearm. Maybe we'll get McGehee or Fontenot.
Zambrano gets the start, and Marmol is slated to pitch, too.
In other news, Juan Gonzalez took Johan Santana deep in the 1st inning, with two men on. Update: it was a first pitch fastball.
Update #2
Line-up is as follows (Cintron @ 3rd)
Soriano lf
Theriot ss
Fukudome rf
Lee 1b
Fontenot 2b
Pie cf
Cintron 3b
Blanco c
Zambrano p
Update #3
Ramirez may be able to DH tomorrow, but this isn't the first time this has happened to him, actually
"I'm all right hitting -- it's just throwing the ball," Ramirez said. "Last year, I had the same thing. I don't know what's up with that -- I don't do the same kind of throwing that I do in the Dominican in the offseason. I went through it last year. I'll be all right."
