Rumor has it that Kerry Wood will be activated today. Who will be going down to AAA or sent packing??? I surely hope that they don't send Smardja down to AAA...
I heard Kerry will be activated to the Cubs, and will pitch a couple of games(game) in middle relief. As soon as today, or Wed. My guess is they are trying to...

I was wondering how Rich Hill was doing since being demoted, and so I looked it up. It isn't pretty. He hasn't been able to find the strike zone at all this...
