The Day in Review

What a comeback for the Cubbies today! Zach had to be delighted.

Injury News

• Chone Figgins is on the disabled list, retroactive to May 22. His right hamstring is irritated - sound familiar? Stay posted.
• Travis Hafner is also on the DL, relative to May 26, with a sore shoulder. 
• Hanley Ramirez left Friday's game with a thumb contusion. 
• Update on Eric Byrnes: both hamstrings are torn. It might be time to cut him, because even if/when he returns from the DL, owners cannot expect him to be very effective.

Notable Performances

• Jay Bruce continues to amaze with another four hits last night. He scored two runs and drove in another. In the same game, Chipper Jones had an 0-for-5, dropping his average to .409. Looks like I spoke a little soon...
• Ryan Howard keyed a 12-run attack by Philadelphia, with a 1-for-2, 1 HR, 3 R, 3 RBI night. It's about time he woke up.
• Russell Martin had a 4-for-4, 3 R, 3 RBI, 1 HR night for LA. The HR is only his fourth of the year, and coupled with his lack of steals, he's still been a slight disappointment this year. Then again, with a .326 average, he's still more valuable than most catchers.
• Ryan Braun also had a 4-for-4 night, with 2 R, 2 RBI and a HR. He's at .299 for the year and picking back up after a slow week.

That about covers it... Cliff Lee did give up some runs for a change, and Chris Duncan is now in the minors. That's what you need to know about the day.
