The Chicago Cubs hope OF David DeJesus (shoulder) will be able to play in games at the team complex in Mesa, Ariz., next week. There still isn't a timetable for his return.

Updating a previous report, Chicago Cubs OF Ryan Sweeney (rib) sustained a fractured left rib after running into the outfield wall Saturday, June 29, in a game against the Seattle Mariners. He will not be allowed to do baseball activities for four to six weeks and will be placed on the disabled list Tuesday, July 2.

Fantasy Tip: For now, the light-hitting Julio Borbon figures to get the bulk of the starts in center field for the Cubs. He offers solid defense and good speed on the bases but not much else, so he should only be considered in deep NL-only leagues.

The Texas Rangers couldn't find a trade partner for OF Julio Borbon, so they were forced to place him on outright waivers.

Fantasy Tip: If no one claims him, he can be sent to the minors, but given the interest in the speedy but offensively frustrating fly-catcher, that's unlikely to happen. Landing in the right spot for a playing-time opening will make him an intriguing, low-risk grab in deep formats.
