Derrek Lee Goes On The Disabled List




Posted by Dennis Velasco Categories: Athletes, Injuries, MLB, News,

Derrek LeeThe Chicago Cubs placed 1B Derrek Lee on the 15-day disabled list in order for last season’s Triple Crown threat to get some rest for his sore right wrist.  Since coming back from his first stint on the disabled list, Lee was batting a poor .227 with only one home run and four RBI in 20 games.  Compared to last season when Lee hit .335 with 46 home runs, it is a striking difference and perhaps Lee came back too soon from his April 19th injury when the Los Angeles Dodgers’ Rafael Furcal collided with Lee, breaking two bones in Lee’s right wrist.  However, it isn’t any news that the Cubs would treat injuries ineffectively as both Mark Prior and Kerry Woods suffered injury, came back, and in a bit of time only, went right back on the shelf.  The Cubs have no plans to put Lee on the DL for the whole season, despite not really having anything to play for, postseason-wise.
