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
Luis Valbuena (pinkie) is back in Wednesday's lineup against the Rockies.
Valbuena has missed the past three games with a jammed right pinkie. It shouldn't be an issue moving forward.

Luis Valbuena (pinkie) is expected to return to the Cubs' lineup on Wednesday against the Rockies.
Valbuena has missed the past three games with a jammed right pinkie. It was never a serious concern.

Luis Valbuena (pinkie) is not in the Cubs' starting lineup on Monday night against the Rockies.
Valbuena jammed his right pinkie Saturday while sliding into third base. He was able to play catch and hit in the batting cage on Sunday but remains day-to-day.

Steve Clevenger
D.L.
Steve Clevenger (oblique) caught two bullpen sessions on Monday.
He's also throwing from 120-130 feet and is expected to start swinging a bat early next week. Clevenger is on the 60-day DL and won't be eligible to return until mid-June. He should have no trouble being ready at that time, though he's not a given to return to the big club.

Scott Baker (elbow) did some light tosses from a distance of 45 feet Monday.
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.

Shawn Camp
D.L.
Cubs placed RHP Shawn Camp on the 15-day disabled list with a sprained right big toe.
Rafael Dolis has been called up to replace him in the bullpen. Camp owns an ugly 7.56 ERA and 12/6 K/BB ratio across 16 2/3 innings of work this season.

Arodys Vizcaino
D.L.
Cubs manager Dale Sveum said Tuesday that Arodys Vizcaino (elbow) is a couple weeks away from appearing in a game.
He is presumably referring to an extended spring training game. Vizcaino, who will continue his rehab with the Cubs rather than at the club's spring training facility, is expected back around midseason.
