CHICAGO (AP) — Pitcher Carlos Zambrano will be placed on the restricted list and the Cubs don’t anticipate him being activated until after the All-Star break at the earliest.
Cubs general manager Jim Hendry said Monday that Zambrano and his agent have not asked for the right-hander to be traded or released by the team.
Zambrano has been suspended by the team since Friday, when he threw a tirade in the dugout that led to a verbal confrontation with teammate Derrek Lee.
