Kerry Wood has been placed on the 15-day DL due to soreness in his right triceps, and the Cubs are hoping it can be made retroactive to May 12. Since Wood also dropped his appeal and served a 5-game suspension after May 12, it is still not clear whether or not he'll be eligible to come back at the end of next week, or if he'll need to lose an additional five days due to the suspension.

The Cubs DL currently features the core of a championship-caliber team, as well as several other key bits and parts.

Mark Prior
Kerry Wood
Sammy Sosa
Mike Remlinger
Mark Grudzielanek
Alex Gonzalez

[UPDTE 4:50 PM:] Christian checking in here to say that according to Sandy Alderson, executive vice president of baseball operations (that's quite a title, by the way), Wood's suspension (and appeal) will be reinstated, allowing the DL assignment to happen retroactively to 5/12.
