"LaTroy Hawkins was in a state of disbelief when he heard Joe Borowski's broken wrist could put him out of action for up to two months. After spring injuries to starters Mark Prior and Kerry Wood, the luck of the Cubs was on full display once again.
"I thought it was a joke," Hawkins said. "Then he told me about what happened. It's like deja vu. It's like `Groundhog Day'--Prior, `Woody,' Borowski . . . "
Borowski suffered a non-displaced fracture of the ulna bone in his right wrist while fielding a comebacker barehanded Monday in a Cactus League game against Kansas City and will be on the disabled list for six to eight weeks.
He will wear a soft cast for about a month and won't be able to pick up a ball for about six weeks, trainer Mark O'Neal said.
