Cubs place Shawn Camp on DL
The Chicago Cubs have placed right-handed reliever Shawn Camp on the 15-day disabled list with a sprained right big toe, according to Paul Sullivan of The Chicago Tribune.
Camp revealed the injury to the Cubs over the weekend. The toe had been bothering him for some time, but he attempted to pitch through the discomfort. This only aggravated the injury, and Chicago ultimately...
What is Jeff Samardzija’s trade value?
Before anyone freaks out, we’ll preface this with a disclaimer. Among many reports, the Cubs have been trying to hammer down an extension with Jeff Samardzija for a while, but Jeff has been resistant to a long-term deal at this time. Part of the reason is that he has been paid handsomely over his career so far and doesn’t really need the money, and part of it is because he...
Cubs place RHP Camp on disabled list
The Chicago Cubs have placed reliever Shawn Camp on the 15-day disabled list with a sprained right big toe and recalled RHP Rafael Dolis.

Late night purely platonic Matt Garza thoughts
Matt Garza did in fact return to the mound on Tuesday and actually pitched rather well despite his bullpen failing. Garza was coming back from injury and thus was subject to a pitch count as the Cubs wanted to make sure he was comfortable and could handle the load based on a carefully crafted plan. Safe to say Garza passed his test and he should be given a longer leash next time...
Chicago Cubs Designate Right-Handed Reliever Michael Bowden
Right-handed reliever Michael Bowden was designated for assignment by the Chicago Cubs on Tuesday. He was the one that drew the shortest straw to make room for veteran pitcher Matt Garza. Iornically, the pitching starved Cubs gave up on the 26-year-old despite him having a solid 1.14 WHIP and sub-4.0 earned run average. He will have to clear waivers to have a shot at being retained...

Theo Epstein and the Cubs Rebuilding Still A Work in Progress
The Chicago Cubs are suffering through a disappointing stretch, marred by a struggling offense, inconsistent middle and backend relief, and questionable leadership at the hands of Tom Ricketts, Theo Epstein. The starting rotation and ever-patient northside faithful have been the sole glimmers of hope for the young, yet telling season.
With a little over two months remaining before...
