Cubs first baseman Derrek Lee will play in the second game of Wednesday's doubleheader.

There was enough concern about his injured left foot that the team had him take an X-ray, which came up negative. Lee hit a foul ball off of his foot in the sixth inning of Tuesday's game and was removed from the game as a precaution.

"We wanted to be careful because of Dempster and Reed," Lee said.

Cubs pitcher Ryan Dempster had a broken toe, while outfielder Reed Johnson had a broken foot.

"They didn't think they were broken, and they happened to be broke, but mine's fine," Lee said.
