Zambrano told to cool off in batting practice

Found June 11, 2012 on Fox Sports Florida:
PLAYERS: Carlos Zambrano,  Ozzie Guillen
TEAMS: Miami Marlins,  Chicago White Sox
MIAMI (AP) -- Carlos Zambrano, one of baseball's best-hitting pitchers, is now under orders to cool it in batting practice. Zambrano complained of a stiff back in his most recent start Saturday, and manager Ozzie Guillen said lusty swings can't help. Zambrano is a career .239 hitter with 24 home runs, including one this season. He's expected to make his next scheduled start Friday, Guillen said.
