News
Cubs first baseman Bryan LaHair was left out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Astros. After going 1 for 19 in his last six contests, manager Dale Sveum told MLB.com that LaHair is receiving a "mental breather." LaHair has started 36 of 43 games so far this season. “He’s never really gone through this mental grind in the big leagues and played this many games in a row,” Sveum said.

	0	3	54.2	2.14	15	50

News
Cubs pitcher Ryan Dempster was pegged with his third loss of the season during Friday night's contest against the Pirates. Dempster, who was making his eighth start of the year, allowed just one run on seven hits over 7 1/3 innings in the 1-0 loss. The lone run he surrendered came in the second inning on a Rod Barajas RBI single. However, he was able to limit Pittsburgh to just five hits over his final 5 1/3 innings of work and was pulled after throwing 106 pitches. He finished with six strikeouts and one walk, while falling to 0-3 on the year.

News
Cubs shortstop Starlin Castro was not in the No. 3 spot in the lineup for the first time this season on Friday night against the Pirates. He was moved up to the two-hole. Joe Mather batted third for Chicago. “It’s time,” manager Dale Sveum told MLB.com. “The combination of not scoring throughout the whole season and Mather’s been as good as anybody swinging the bat so I’m going to give him a little opportunity to see what he can do. Like I told Castro, I said, ‘It’s not a demotion, it’s more shaking the team up.’ He was great about it — he was like, ‘Hey, I just want to win, I don’t care where I hit in the lineup.’ He took it well and completely understood.”

	Jeff Samardzija, #29
	Year-to-date Stats
	W	L	IP	ERA	BB	K
	4	3	57.0	3.00	18	57

News
Cubs starter Jeff Samardzija has now pitched well in back-to-back outings with nothing to show for it. Samardzija was once again sharp on Wednesday night in Houston. Unfortunately, his offense could do nothing after a first-inning home run and opposing starter Wandy Rodriguez was on his game. That equaled to Samardzija’s third loss of the season as he fell to 4-3 on the year. Samardzija allowed just two earned runs in the outing on six hits and two walks over six innings. He struck out four and threw 90 pitches. Samardzija’s ERA remains solid at 3.00 even on the season.

Injuries
Wrist - Questionable for May 26 at Pittsburgh (Updated - 5/25/12)
News
Cubs third baseman Ian Stewart was a late scratch for Friday's game at Pittsburgh due to soreness in his left wrist, according to MLB.com. Stewart was in the original lineup before being replaced by Adrian Cardenas at third base roughly three hours before first pitch. Manager Dale Sveum said he would be re-evaluated on Saturday.

Injuries
Knee - 15-day DL. Out until at least late May (Updated - 5/22/12)
News
The Cubs placed catcher Welington Castillo on the 15-day disabled list on Tuesday, reports MLB.com. Castillo is dealing with a sprained knee and should only require the minimum stay on the shelf. The move made room for Travis Wood to be recalled to start on Tuesday at Houston.

	Rafael Dolis, #48
	Year-to-date Stats
	W	L	IP	ERA	SV	K
	2	3	24.2	4.74	4	10

News
Cubs closer Rafael Dolis had not pitched since Sunday against the White Sox, so manager Dale Sveum called upon him to pitch in a non-save situation on Wednesday at Houston. Dolis took the mound in the eighth inning with a 2-1 deficit and was asked to keep it that way. He could not, however, as Dolis allowed three earned runs on three hits and two walks and could only get two outs before he was replaced by Michael Bowden. Bowden finished the inning and Dolis' ERA grew to 4.74 on the year. Dolis did have one strikeout.

News
Cubs reliever Blake Parker continues to deal with a tight right hamstring as he did not get into Wednesday's loss at Houston. Parker is day to day for the Cubs. He has not pitched since May 19 against the White Sox.

News
Cubs outfielder Reed Johnson put the team on the board on Wednesday in Houston. Johnson homered for the second time this season in the first inning off Houston starter Wandy Rodriguez for a solo shot. It was the only run the Cubs would score in the game. Johnson, who got the start in center field, finished 2 for 4 with the RBI. He's batting .246 on the year.

News
Cubs outfielder Alfonso Soriano entered Tuesday's game against the Astros having hit three home runs in his last seven games. He added to that total as he went 1 for 4 with a homer in the 2-1 win. He launched a solo shot off J.A. Happ in the fourth inning. Soriano has gone 9 for 28 (.321) in his last eight games with six RBI and five runs scored.

	Travis Wood, #30

News
Cubs pitcher Travis Wood made his second start of the season on Tuesday night against the Astros. He allowed two runs on two hits with two walks over 5 2/3 innings in the 2-1 loss. The left-hander surrendered a home run to Jose Altuve to start the game before settling down over his next four frames. Then in the sixth, he was pulled for Shawn Camp after issuing a two-out walk. The bullpen would allow the inherited runner to score, charging Wood with his final damage. Wood also struck out three while taking his first loss of the season.
