Derrek Lee won't have his appeal of a five-game suspension heard until after the All-Star break, according to the Daily Southtown. "It's been postponed," manager Lou Piniella said Friday.

Derrek Lee was ejected from Saturday's game in the fourth inning for his role in a benches-clearing melee with the Padres.

It looks like Derrek Lee will be a game-time call on Sunday, though he hopes to be ready, according to the Chicago Tribune. "The only thing that would stop me from playing is if I wake up and it feels worse from all the activity today," he said. Lee has been out with neck spasms, though he was able pinch-hit Saturday and came through with a grand slam. Considering what he did yesterday, you might want to role the dice on him Sunday. | May 19, 2007
Will Derrek Lee return to action on Saturday? Manager Lou Piniella said Friday evening that he thought it was "improbable," according to the Daily Southtown. What does Lee think? "I may not play the whole series. I don't know," Lee said. "It's day-to-day." Lee's missed five straight games now due to neck spasms. He likely will be a game-time call today, making him a risky fantasy play.

We'll see how he is when he gets here." | May 14, 2007
