Wellemeyer headed to DL
HOUSTON -- The Chicago Cubs are expected to put another pitcher on the disabled list Thursday -- and they have another player who could join him, which would give them nine on the DL at the same time.

Reliever Todd Wellemeyer flew back to Chicago on Wednesday to be re-evaluated Thursday by team physician Dr. Stephen Gryzlo. Wellemeyer threw two shutout innings last Friday against St. Louis but has been unable to pitch since then. He has a strained right shoulder and could undergo an MRI on Thursday.

Might as well just call up the whole Iowa team and be done with it. Dammit!
