Bad news: Cubs won't face Estes

[NCCubFan]

Shawn Estes will not pitch against the Cubs as scheduled. He's on the 15-day DL because he fell in the dougout and broke a finger on his pitching hand. Too bad; I was looking forward to the Cubs lighting him up.

Just like last time!

How about Peavy? He was DLd retroactive to may 15, so he should be eligible to come off any day now. Any word on how hes doing?

I doubt he'll be starting in the Cubs series. They say he has a chance to start sometime next week. He had a throwing session yesterday, and is supposed to throw off the mound tomorrow. I doubt they would want to start him before Friday at the very earliest.

 

I'm kind of glad Estes isn't starting. He's been pretty effective so far, and now with so many pitchers out for the Padres they'll probably have to start a guy on a limited pitch count, and then the Cubs can get into that bullpen early.

San Diego manager Bud Black hasn't announced who will start on Monday, when the Padres face the Cubs at PETCO Park. That would have been Estes' turn to start.

 

The most logical candidate would be Cha Seung Baek, who was acquired last week from the Seattle Mariners. Baek made his Padres debut on Friday and struck out the side in his lone inning of work.

Peavy + Petco = ](*,)

 

Hopefully we don't face him.
