7/2 Extra bases
* Luis Valbuena notched his first multi-double game since April 22, 2010, vs. the Twins. He notched his third three RBI game of the season, and is 6-for-21 in his last seven games. Valbuena, who has taken over at third for Ian Stewart, out for the year with a wrist injury, now has 13 RBIs. Stewart had 17 before being sidelined.
“He keeps driving in runs in bunches,” Sveum said. “You look up and you think he’s hitting about .340 but he’s only hitting .250. He’s getting big hits and his slugging percentage and everything like that is huge. I wish I’d had him all year.”
* The Cubs must make a roster move to make room for Chris Volstad, who will start Tuesday. Expect Casey Coleman to be optioned to Triple-A Iowa.
* Outfielder David DeJesus was day to day with a stiff neck, but was expected back in the Cubs lineup on Tuesday.
* Double-A Tennessee second baseman Logan Watkins and pitcher Nick Struck were named the Cubs’ Minor League player and pitcher of the month for June. Watkins, 22, batted .352 with three doubles, three triples, one home run and 11 RBIs in 23 June games. He had a season-high 13-game hitting streak, in which he batted .375, from June 13-30. Struck, 22, was 4-1 with a 2.45 ERA in five June starts, walking eight and striking out 23, while limiting the opponent to a .181 batting average.

6/29 Dempster making progress
Ryan Dempster played catch Friday, and could throw off the mound Saturday or Sunday, but he will not be ready until sometime after the All-Star break. Dempster, on the disabled list since June 16 with a sore right lat, said Friday he’s making progress.
“It won’t take me long once I get going,” Dempster said. “I haven’t said, ‘This date’ because if I feel good, it could be sooner than that. I’m completely pain free. I just don’t know how I’m going to feel throwing.”
Randy Wells subbed for Dempster for two starts but he was designated for assignment on Wednesday. The Cubs need another starter Tuesday against the Braves and manager Dale Sveum said the options include Casey Coleman, who was currently in the bullpen, and Chris Volstad, who was pitching for Triple-A Iowa. Volstad was sent to Iowa after opening the season 0-6 with a 7.46 ERA in eight starts with the Cubs. In eight starts at Iowa, Volstad was 2-3 with a 4.44 ERA, giving up 25 earned runs on 59 hits and 12 walks while striking out 41 over 50 2/3 innings.

5/12 Marmol to DL – UPDATE
The news on Carlos Marmol was encouraging Saturday. Marmol was placed on the 15-day disabled list Saturday with a strained right hamstring and Casey Coleman recalled from Triple-A Iowa.
“It was very, very minimal, nothing major,” Dale Sveum said of the MRI results after Saturday’s game. “Fifteen days and we’ll go from there. It wasn’t significant at all.”
Coleman arrived Saturday in time to pitch two innings in the Brewers’ 8-2 win over the Cubs, traveling from Fresno to Sacramento to catch a 5 a.m. flight to Denver, where he changed planes, then landed in Milwaukee. He had to carry his cleats and glove in a garbage bag because he didn’t have a carry-on bag.
Marmol was injured in the seventh inning Friday, saying he felt pain in his leg after his last pitch of the inning, which was to Corey Hart.
