More Injury Updates

Daryl Ward tore his calf muscle and went on the d.l. today. He's expected to miss at least 3 weeks. That's a tough injury for the team. Ward's been a solid pinch hitter and a good fill in at 1b and occasionally in rf.

To take his place, infielder Scott Moore was recalled from Iowa and is in the lineup at first base today. Moore was hitting .266 with 16 hr and 61 rbi at Iowa. He was hot lately with 5hr in his last 5 games. Moore normally plays 3b but we've seen him play 1b before and he looks fine.

Cliff Floyd is day to day (what a surprise) after his collision with Giants pitcher Matt Morris at first base yesterday.

Ryan Dempster was activated after his second rehab appearance yesterday. Sean Gallagher was sent down to make room.

Wade Miller was officially transferred to Iowa's roster from Peoria so he can make a rehab start today. He should make a couple more starts before the Cubs have to decide what to do with him.
