Mark Prior and Kerry Wood went on the 15-day disabled list Tuesday along with the hopes of many Chicago Cubs fans.

Neither move came as a surprise, as both have been rehabbing from injuries.

“We knew neither one of them would be ready for opening day,” Cubs general manager Jim Hendry said. “Mark has been throwing again and has had no discomfort. Woody has been very, very good.”

Prior, who has not pitched in a spring training game, has a strained muscle in the right shoulder. Wood had arthroscopic surgery on his right knee this month to repair a minor cartilage tear. He began throwing shortly after that. He threw 60 pitches from a bullpen mound earlier this week.

Also at Cubs’ camp in Mesa, Ariz., Marquis Grissom announced his retirement after a 17-year major-league career.

The 38-year-old outfielder signed a minor-league contract in January and had hoped to make the team as a backup. But he batted just .200 in 17 spring games.

“It’s been a pretty fun ride along the way,” Grissom said. “I came into spring training to this organization to really see if I could go out and play baseball again for another year. And I got that opportunity from the Cubs. It didn’t work out. Over a period of the last two, three weeks, I’ve been going in and out, strength-wise, body-wise emotionally, whether I wanted to do it, could I do it.”

Dodgers 4, Tigers 2

At Dunedin, Fla., Toronto starter Scott Downs left when his right knee felt irritated while he warmed up for the third inning.

“It was the tendon area under his knee,” manager John Gibbons said. “Hopefully it’s not serious.”

Scott Baker pitched six solid innings in his effort to become Minnesota’s fifth starter. Baker allowed three runs, four hits and one walk.
