Ryan Dempster isn't exactly sure when he hurt his right leg, but the Cubs are taking a precautionary approach with the right-hander, who was placed on the disabled list Saturday, retroactive to April 18. Dempster started last Monday in Miami, and during his bullpen session two days later, he felt some discomfort. 'It was tight and I threw a pitch and it grabbed on me, and I felt it go a little bit,' Dempster said. 'Maybe I did something during the game, but when you're out there pitching and the adrenaline is going, you don't feel anything. The next day, it was a little tight and I tried to throw my bullpen and it didn't go too well.'
