Anthony Rizzo - 1B - Cubs

Anthony Rizzo is not in the Cubs' starting lineup on Tuesday night against the rival Cardinals.

It's the first day off of the season for the young first baseman, who has 10 home runs and 39 RBI in 68 games this season. Cody Ransom will get the nod in his place against Cardinals ace Adam Wainwright.

Alfonso Soriano - OF - Cubs

Alfonso Soriano went 0-for-4 and committed his fifth error in left field Monday against the Cardinals.

And this from a guy who said Carlos Marmol used to be good. Soriano is batting .253 and is on pace to finish with 17 homers, 69 RBI and a 138/21 K/BB ratio.

David DeJesus - OF - Cubs

David DeJesus was diagnosed with a right shoulder strain following an MRI on Monday.

This confirms the original diagnosis. DeJesus suffered the injury when he slammed into the center field fence during Friday's game against the Mets. There's still no timetable for his return.

Matt Garza - S - Cubs

Matt Garza spun seven shutout innings but was dealt a no-decision in Sunday's loss to the Mets.

Garza was fantastic, permitting just three hits while walking two and striking out five in his best start since returning from the disabled list. Unfortunately, he was unable to pick up his second win after Carlos Marmol coughed up a 3-0 lead in the ninth. The right-hander will be a big trade chip for the Cubs next month as long as he stays healthy. He has a juicy matchup at home against the Astros next weekend.

Carlos Marmol - R - Cubs

Carlos Marmol had another Marmol meltdown Sunday, yielding four runs while recording just one out in a loss to the Mets.

With Kevin Gregg unavailable, Marmol was tasked with protecting a 3-0 lead in the ninth, but the only out he was able to record was on a sac bunt. Marlon Byrd took him deep to lead off the inning, Lucas Duda drew a walk, John Buck knocked a single and Kirk Nieuwenhuis sent everyone home with a long walk-off homer. Marmol now holds an ugly 6.08 ERA and 1.72 WHIP for the season. The Cubs are hoping to trade him at the deadline, but it's hard to imagine anyone being interested.

Eduardo Sanchez - R - Cubs

Cubs sent RHP Eduardo Sanchez outright to Triple-A Iowa.

Sanchez was designated for assignment last week but has cleared waivers and will remain in the organization. The righty has really struggled with his control the last two seasons but is still just 24 and has plenty of upside.
Jun 16 - 8:33 AM
Scott Feldman - S - Cubs

Scott Feldman allowed just two hits in seven innings of one-run ball in a 5-2 win over the Mets on Saturday.

Feldman walked one and struck out six. The only run scored on an RBI single by David Wright in the bottom of the fourth inning. Feldman also had a nice day at the plate, as he delivered a two-run single off Jon Niese. He continues to be a nice find for the Cubs, compiling a 3.05 ERA, 1.10 WHIP and 60/21 K/BB ratio in 79 2/3 innings over 13 starts. However, it will be tough to trust him in mixed leagues with a matchup against the first-place Cardinals next week in St. Louis.
Jun 15 - 4:58 PM
Starlin Castro - SS - Cubs

Batting out of the No. 3 spot, Starlin Castro had a two-run ground-rule double in Saturday's win over the Mets.

It was his only hit in six at-bats and it might have been caught if someone other than Lucas Duda was playing left field, but fantasy owners will take what they can get. After spending some time in the bottom-third of the order, Castro has been near the top of the lineup for the past three games. He's one of the team's best offensive players, even though he has struggled this season, so look for that trend to continue.
Jun 15 - 4:56 PM
Shawn Camp - R - Cubs

Cubs activated RHP Shawn Camp from the 15-day disabled list.

Camp missed just over three weeks while recovering from a toe injury. He returns to a 7.56 ERA and 12/6 K/BB ratio over 17 innings this season.
Jun 15 - 10:23 AM
David DeJesus - OF - Cubs

Cubs placed OF David DeJesus on the 15-day disabled list with a right shoulder strain.

DeJesus was injured after crashing into the outfield wall in the third inning of Friday's win over the Mets. Ryan Sweeney is expected to see the majority of playing time in center field in his absence. The Cubs have activated reliever Shawn Camp in a corresponding move.
Jun 15 - 10:14 AM
Edwin Jackson - S - Cubs

Edwin Jackson fired six innings of one-run ball Friday in a 6-3 win over the Mets.

It was only his third win of the season. Jackson allowed five hits and three walks while striking out seven. He has allowed two runs in 13 innings over his last two starts, lowering his ERA from 6.29 to 5.40 in the process. Jackson is much better than what he has shown until this point, so we expect it to continue to go down in the coming days and weeks. Still, it'll be tough to trust him against the first-place Cardinals next week in St. Louis.
Jun 14 - 11:23 PM
Anthony Rizzo - 1B - Cubs

Anthony Rizzo went 3-for-4 with two runs scored Friday against the Mets.

Nice to see from Rizzo, who had just two hits over his previous seven games combined. The 23-year-old has really struggled dating back to mid-May, but he has the ability to be a top-10 option at the first base position in mixed leagues.
Jun 14 - 11:21 PM
David DeJesus - OF - Cubs

David DeJesus has been diagnosed with a right shoulder strain which will require a trip to the disabled list.

DeJesus sustained the injury crashing into the outfield wall during the third inning of Friday's contest against the Mets. Ryan Sweeney figures to see increased playing time while DeJesus is sidelined and is worthy of a look in NL-only leagues.

David DeJesus - OF - Cubs

David DeJesus will undergo X-rays on his right shoulder, after crashing into the center field wall during the third inning of Friday's game.

DeJesus was attempting to track down Juan Lagares' triple leading off the third inning when he awkwardly crashed into the wall in center field. Ryan Sweeney replaced him in the game, and would figure to see increased time if DeJesus requires a trip to the disabled list.

David DeJesus - OF - Cubs

David DeJesus was removed from Friday's game in the third inning after sustaining an undisclosed injury while running into the outfield wall.

DeJesus was attempting to track down Juan Lagares' triple leading off the third inning when he awkwardly crashed into the wall in center field. It appeared to be his shoulder or collarbone that sustained the brunt of the damage. The team should have an update on his status shortly.
