Cubs' Choi home, in good spirits


Baseball notebook

The Associated Press

CHICAGO - Hee Seop Choi was resting at home Sunday, a day after a violent collision with Kerry Wood that left the Chicago Cubs first baseman with a concussion.

Choi still had a headache and his neck was sore, but he was in good spirits, Cubs manager Dusty Baker said. Choi was placed on the 15-day disabled list before Sunday night's game against the New York Yankees and has been ordered to rest for the next week.

The Cubs recalled David Kelton from Triple-A Iowa to take his spot on the roster.

"I was surprised to see how well he looked," said Baker, who went to see Choi before he was released from the hospital Sunday afternoon. "He said his head doesn't hurt as much in the back, and he said to tell everyone he was fine . . . He said he knew he was fine because he was hungry."

That was a relief to the Cubs, whose excitement after Saturday's electrifying 5-2 victory over the New York Yankees was tempered by their concern for Choi. The rookie was knocked unconscious and lay motionless on the ground for several minutes after the fourth-inning collision, and was taken off the field in an ambulance.

"You definitely want to check on a teammate, and me being involved in the play even more so," Wood said. "I felt pretty bad about it most of the day until I had a chance to go talk to him about it."

METS: Tom Glavine will miss a scheduled start for the first time in 11 years, and the left-hander with a sore elbow is not sure exactly when he'll pitch again.

Glavine's turn was going to come up Wednesday night at Texas.
