Tender Shoulder

Carlos Zambrano's MRI revealed shoulder tendinitis and received an anti-inflammatory injection.

General manager Jim Hendry said Zambrano hopes to start throwing again when the team begins a series in St. Louis on Sept. 10. If all goes well, Zambrano would start at Houston in the following series.

Zambrano, 13-5 this year, left his start Tuesday night against the Astros after five innings, saying he did not feel well. He was examined Wednesday by team orthopedist Dr. Stephen Gryzlo.

Zambrano is 1-1 over his last six starts and has made it past the fifth inning only twice.

As I noted in my radio show last night, there's no real reason to rush Carlos back. The Cubs are good enough to coast to the playoffs without Carlos and Harden. They need both healthy for October, so there's no reason to take any chances. The Cubs should do what the Red Sox did in 2007, coast into the playoff and make sure everyone is healthy.
