--2B David Eckstein returned to the starting lineup Tuesday, two days after being nailed in the rib cage by a Roy Oswalt pitch. Eckstein suffered no rib damage but was heavily bruised on the left side of his chest.
--RHP Cha Seung Baek's time on the disabled list will continue for an undetermined period after an MRI taken Monday showed that Baek had suffered a new strain to his forearm in a slightly different spot. The good news was there was no damage to Baek's elbow, which is where he felt the pain Saturday during a rehab start with Class AAA Portland. --1B Adrian Gonzalez's first-inning homer at Wrigley Field on Tuesday gave him homers in back-to-back games for the third time this season.
