The Cubs haven't officially set their roster for their NLDS matchup against St. Louis, but with manager Joe Maddon likely to deploy a four-man rotation, Haren figures to be the odd man out, and thus, left off the roster.

Cubs SP Dan Haren gives up three runs in no-decision
Chicago Cubs starting pitcher Dan Haren allowed three runs, one earned, on three hits, he did not walk a batter, and struck out two over 4.1 innings against the Cardinals on Friday afternoon. The surging Cubs would come on to win the game 8-3, but Haren was gone too early to qualify for a win. Now just six games behind the Cardinals, and more importantly, only two back of the Pirates in the wild card race, the Cubs are pulling out all the stops as they scramble to qualify for a playoff spot so quick hooks and playing individual match-ups could very possibly part of the plan over the last few days of the regular season.
