Zambrano feels better after MRI on shoulder

 

Published 9/5/2008 at FOXSports.com News for MLB

Right-hander Carlos Zambrano was upbeat Friday about his chances of returning to the Chicago Cubs' rotation in a week, optimistic that an anti-inflammatory injection and rest will be enough to heal his aching shoulder. Zambrano rejoined the team for the start of a series against the Cincinnati Reds one day after he got a medical test that detected inflammation in his right shoulder. He had to rest for two days after getting an injection, and hoped to be back in the rotation next weekend. (link)
