CHICAGO (AP) — Chicago Cubs pitcher Carlos Zambrano is day to day after going to a hospital for precautionary reasons because of lower abdominal pain.
Tests taken Thursday at Northwestern Memorial Hospital ruled out appendicitis.
Zambrano was unavailable to pitch in short relief in Thursday’s 1-0 win over the Los Angeles Dodgers. He is expected to return to the starting rotation next week after working out of the bullpen since late April.
