Carlos Zambrano is back in Chicago for an MRI after experiencing shoulder discomfort in the seventh inning of Wednesday's 5-4 loss at Tampa Bay. Nothing about this development is good for Cubs fans. Oddly enough, all three of Chicago's young arms (Kerry Wood, Mark Prior and now Zambrano) from the 2003 near-National League Championship team have experienced shoulder problems. Wood eventually returned after a series of injuries to become a very good closer. Prior is still out following a setback in his rehabilitation from shoulder surgery.
Fantasy Impact: Zambrano is the Cubs' ace and probably your fantasy ace. Zambrano wanted to stay in the game, but Lou Piniella though otherwise. Better hope Zambrano's willingness to continue is a harbinger for a speedy return. This could impact the Cubs much more than Alfoso Soriano's injury.
