Wells Headed for DL

San Diego Padre left-hander David Wells cut his right wrist and left palm, apparently in an accident at home, and is expected to sit out his next two starts.

General Manager Kevin Towers said the 40-year-old Wells probably will be put on the disabled list today. Wells wasn’t on the team flight Monday to Pittsburgh, where the Padres open a 12-game, four-city trip today. Wells lost to the Chicago Cubs on Sunday, and apparently was injured that night.

“It was not a fight,� Towers said. “It happened at his home. It sounds like he cut himself with some glass. How he did that, I don’t know.�

Seven-year-old Taylor Barela was carried from the stands on a stretcher in the seventh inning of Sunday’s game after she was struck in the head by a foul ball hit by Philadelphia’s David Bell. She was taken to Children’s Hospital in Denver, where she was treated and released.
