The Chicago Cubs placed Ryan Dempster today with a fractured right big toe. Was a batted ball off his foot responsible? Well, no. Did he look at Milton Bradley funny? Nope. Did Carlos Zambrano stomp on his foot in a "Why is the postgame spread fish again?!?" induced rage? Negative.
The Cubs won their game against NL Central rivals Milwaukee 8-2 on Sunday. After the final out was recorded, Dempster hopped over the dugout fence to go celebrate with his teammates. He caught his back leg on the fence, landed awkwardly, and broke his toe. On the list of stupid injuries, it's certainly not at the top of the list, but I'm sure the next time Dempster even thinks about hopping a fence Lou Pinella is going to punch him in the kidney.
Dempster had been 5-5 with a 4.09 ERA so far this season. He could be out up to a month.
