<!--quoteo-->QUOTE <!--quotec-->On a day when the Cubs honored two of baseball's most durable former pitchers, Ferguson Jenkins and Greg Maddux, they were prepared to place their highest-paid pitcher on the disabled list.

Carlos Zambrano, who picked up the win in Sunday's 6-4 victory over the Marlins, spent Sunday evening with an MRI machine after straining his left hamstring beating out a bunt single. Even if the injury isn't considered serious, Zambrano most likely will be shut down.

"I would think we're going to have to do something to get a starter in here," said manager Lou Piniella while defending his ace pitcher's aggressiveness on the base paths.<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->

<!--quoteo-->QUOTE <!--quotec-->CHICAGO -- Cubs pitcher Carlos Zambrano strained his left hamstring running to first base in the fifth inning on Sunday against the Florida Marlins and could miss his next start.

Zambrano was to undergo an MRI, and Cubs manager Lou Piniella said he expected to have a more definitive report on the right-hander on Monday. His next start is scheduled for Friday, when the Cubs open a weekend series against the Milwaukee Brewers.

"I would say right now that's in jeopardy, and if I had to guess, I'd say no," Piniella said of Zambrano making his next start.<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
