It looks like Jose Reyes ‘ 2009 season is teetering on the brink of being over. He continues to have pain coming from the torn hamstring tendon, and a recent MRI showed significant scar tissue and inflammation in the area. He has not been able to sprint, and probably won’t be able to any time […]
Carlos Zambrano seems to be gearing up for a return on May 22 against the Padres, assuming that he makes it through his scheduled rehab start without any issues. He has been jogging, throwing strong, pain-free bullpen sessions, and has been doing some infield drills as well.
Adam Jones re-injured the same hamstring […]
Carlos Zambrano put a bunt down the third base line in today’s game, and came up a bit sore in his left hamstring after hustling down to first base. He exited the game, having thrown five innings. He was able to walk off the field without much of a limp, so this was probably […]

Carlos Zambrano , dealing with what is more than likely a strained rotator cuff , is set to throw a bullpen on Sunday. If all goes well, Zambrano could be ready to pitch next week, probably against the Cardinals. It seems as though he dodged a major bullet with it being a minor strain. Had […]
Fausto Carmona is not going to make his scheduled rehab starts as expected , due to lingering left hip soreness. There is good news, however, as he did not have any pain during a 50-pitch simulated game, which means his muscle strain is healing. A subsequent MRI did show inflammation, however, though it was […]
In tonight’s game against the Rays, Cubs ace Carlos Zambrano exited in the 7th inning with what is being called "right shoulder discomfort" , which of course could mean anything at this point.
