Scouting Reports:
Brewers:
The team thought right-hander Ben Sheets might be able to pitch on Aug. 25 in San Francisco, but a second blister on his middle finger derailed those hopes. Now they are shooting for this series in Chicago, a key showdown between the National League Central's top two teams. Sheets has not pitched since mid-July because of torn tissue around a tendon in his middle finger, and the blisters prolonged his time on the shelf. He threw in the outfield on Tuesday and said he expected to be ready to go.
Cubs:
Zambrano walked four and gave up six hits over 5 1/3 innings in his last start against the Giants. He is 0-for-August, and has fallen short in four tries at his 15th win. Big Z also has yet to win since signing his $91.5 million contract with the Cubs. Zambrano has to watch the walks -- he walked three in one inning, including a free pass to pitcher Matt Cain, who later hit a two-run homer. Zambrano is 2-0 against the Brewers so far this season.
