>>Cubs' Dempster Lands On DL

(Chicago, IL)  --  Pitcher Ryan Dempster's trade value took a slight hit on Monday.  The Chicago Cubs right-hander has been placed on the 15-day disabled list with tightness in his right lat.  Dempster sports a glossy 2.11 ERA and 1.01 WHIP.  He has won three straight games after starting the season 0-and-3.  The 35-year-old met with general manager Theo Epstein last week to discuss potential trade options with several teams rumored to be interested.  Dempster can veto any deal.

>>Cardinals At Tigers

(Detroit, MI)  --  The Cardinals continue Interleague play with the first of a three-game series against the Tigers tonight in Detroit.  Lance Lynn puts his 10-and-2 mark on the line against Tigers ace Justin Verlander in the opener.  The Cards will also rematch with the Royals this weekend in Kansas City.
