--3B Aramis Ramirez will be in a sling for a week and then work for another three weeks on range-of-motion and strength exercises as he recovers from a dislocated left shoulder, suffered Friday in Milwaukee. Ramirez is likely out two months.

--The Cubs recalled RHP Jose Ascanio from Class AAA Iowa Sunday and placed veteran RHP Chad Fox on the DL with right-elbow inflammation. Fox, who has had numerous elbow problems during his career, left Saturday night's game after throwing a pitch and feeling pain. He said he'll have X-rays Monday.

--1B Derrek Lee had an MRI Sunday. Lee has been suffering from neck spasms, caused by a bulging disc. He has not started since last Tuesday.

QUOTE TO NOTE: "I've never seen anything quite like this. Every day, it seems to be something different. Just tough it out. What can I say? It just gets frustrating. Every time you put something a little together, something different happens." -- Manager Lou Piniella.
