CHICAGO -- Chicago Cubs right-hander Carlos Zambrano will sit out the rest of the season after his 30-day suspension ends after the games on Sept. 11.
The Cubs said Friday they'll pay Zambrano after the suspension ends but there's insufficient time for him to get ready to pitch again. The Cubs also said a grievance filed on Zambrano's behalf will be processed by the players' union, Major League Baseball and the team during the off-season.
Zambrano cleaned out his locker and talked about retiring after giving up five homers and being ejected during a loss to Atlanta on Aug. 12. His ejection followed two inside pitches to Chipper Jones.
The Cubs placed Zambrano on the disqualified list the next day and said he would receive no pay and have no part in team activities for 30 days.
On Friday, the Cubs also promoted first baseman Bryan LaHair from Triple-A Iowa. LaHair's 38 home runs for Iowa were leading the minor leagues.
Florida: Marlins manager Jack McKeon said he has made a decision about his future beyond this season but hasn't talked with the organization about whether he'll return in 2012 at age 81. McKeon said if he doesn't return as manager, he would like to remain with the franchise in some capacity
San Francisco: The Giants recalled infielders Emmanuel Burriss, Brandon Crawford and Conor Gillaspie and reliever Waldis Joaquin from Triple-A Fresno and outfielder Darren Ford from Double-A Richmond.
