Luis Valbuena had a decent night at the dish in Friday’s loss to the Reds, going 2-for-3 with a double, run scored and RBI.

Valbuena hasn’t been great, but has done enough to lock up the everyday job as the Cubs third baseman for the time being. Through his first 38 games, he’s hitting .257/.361/.442 with five homers and 15 RBI. He could be worth a look as an injury replacement in deeper mixed leagues, especially playing half his games at the friendly confines of Wrigley Field. May 24 - 10:37 PM

	3	Steve Clevenger D.L. Steve Clevenger (oblique) will begin a rehab assignment with Triple-A Iowa on Monday. Clevenger has been over his oblique strain for a while now, but he's on the 60-day DL and not eligible to return until mid-June. It's probably not a given that he'll be added to the big league roster once eligible. Jun 2

DeJesus on Monday was diagnosed with a right shoulder strain, an injury he suffered when he slammed into the center field fence last Friday. The Cubs will use Ryan Sweeney as their primary center fielder while DeJesus is out. Jun 19

It was Baker's first time throwing since he was shut down near the end of spring training with a right elbow strain. The Cubs will know a lot more about his timetable once he starts to build up his workload. Apr 29

	2	Kyuji Fujikawa D.L. Kyuji Fujikawa underwent Tommy John surgery on Tuesday. The reconstructive elbow procedure was performed by Dr. James Andrews and deemed a success. Fujikawa has already been placed on the 60-day disabled list and is unlikely to be ready to pitch for the Cubs again until June of next season. He signed a two-year, $9.5 million free agent contract with Chicago this past winter. Jun 11

	8	Rafael Dolis D.L. Cubs placed RHP Rafael Dolis on the 15-day disabled list, retroactive to May 27, with a forearm strain. No word on the severity of the injury. Dolis has yet to allow a run in five appearances with the Cubs this season. Blake Parker has been called up from Triple-A Iowa in a corresponding move. Jun 1
	9	Zach Putnam D.L. Cubs placed RHP Zach Putnam on the 15-day disabled list with right elbow soreness. Putnam left Tuesday's game with elbow soreness and is scheduled to undergo an MRI. The Cubs have called up Brooks Raley to replace him on the active roster. Jun 12
	10	Blake Parker
	11	Arodys Vizcaino D.L. Arodys Vizcaino has been ruled out for the season after recently undergoing arthroscopic surgery on his right elbow to address a calcium buildup. Vizcaino wasn't progressed as hoped in his recovery from Tommy John surgery, and now we know why. It's a shame that he won't appear for the Cubs in 2013, but the good news is that his ligaments are fine and he should be ready to go for spring training. Vizcaino will be shut down for six weeks before beginning his rehab. May 28
