Luis Rodriguez left the San Diego Padres’ 6-4 loss to the Chicago Cubs on Wednesday night after spraining his left ankle while running the bases in the seventh inning and is likely headed to the disabled list. X-rays were negative, but Rodriguez will likely be placed on the DL before Friday’s game Cincinnati. "It looks like it’s going to be a disabled list from the early indications," manager Bud Black said. With the Padres trailing 6-3, Rodriguez was injured when he tried to stop after rounding first on a single — his second of the game. Pitcher Kevin Correia ran for him and Chris Burke replaced him at shortstop in the eighth. ______ Copyright 2009 Associated Press. All rights reserved.
