The Chicago Cubs may have another player headed to their ever-growing disabled list. In the top of the eighth inning of Saturday night's game, RP Blake Parker struck out UTIL Brent Lillibridge but then fell down 3-0 to CF Alejandro De Aza, prompting a visit from the training staff.
Unfortunately for Parker and for the Cubs, he could not finish the at bat:
