Lester has gone 6-1 in his last eight outings with one no-decision that Chicago rallied to win anyway after he left the game.Lester has not allowed more than three runs in any of his starts over that period and pitched well in his lone appearance versus Colorado back on April 30, giving up two unearned runs and five hits in 5.2 innings of a 3-2 victory.

We’d be down to our third layer of depth.”Kingery came out of Friday night’s game with a right hamstring strain in the middle of the fourth inning and had an MRI on Saturday. Kapler said he had not yet been informed of the results. The 24-year-old Kingery is hitting .406 this season.“When I watch Scott Kingery play it’s like I’m watching a family member. I’m that invested in watching him play and caring about his well being,” Kapler said. “It was an enormous blow to see him having the success we all knew he could have, and to know that was going to be interrupted. He is going to be back on the field, but his progress, his flow, his confidence and his health were interrupted. That was upsetting. I’m still upset about it.”Arano
