Ward Could Return Very Soon

Either Eric Patterson's or Felix Pie's current stint with the big league club could be very short. The Chicago Sun-Times reports:

But the bigger news for the Cubs' struggling offense is the earlier-than-expected return of left-handed-hitting Daryle Ward, who is scheduled to work out for Piniella and coaches before today's game.

''If he's ready [today], I wouldn't rule it out,'' Piniella said. ''According to the people in Mesa, he's about 90 to 95 percent.''

It appears he will not go on a rehab assignment.

Ward to DL; Scott Moore Up

Daryle Ward ended up on the 15-day disabled list with his torn calf muscle. Scott Moore replaced him on the big league roster and will start at first base today. Moore has hit .266/.373/.517 for Iowa this year. He has six home runs in his last six games. Moore and Jake Fox are now, apparently, in what amounts to a half-week battle to stay on the roster once Derrek Lee returns from his suspension.

Cubs Sign Daryle Ward to 1-Year Deal

Submitted by cubsnet on Thu, 2006-12-07 13:37.
"The Chicago Cubs and first baseman-outfielder Daryle Ward agreed on a one-year contract Thursday," reports SportsTicker. He's the "new John Mabry." The AP says the deal will be worth $1.05M, about what Mabry made last season. Ward, 31, has a career OPS 3.5% below league average. He did hit .308/.380/.546 in 150 plate appearances for Washington and Atlanta last year, when his exposure to left handed pitchers was appropriately limited to 19 plate appearances. As of today, the Braves were still trying to resign Ward, reports the Savannah Morning News.
