Cubs manager Lou Piniella expects rehabbing pitcher Carlos Zambrano to rejoin the team toward the end of the team's next road trip.

Zambrano, who was suspended June 25 and put on the restricted list after a dugout tirade directed at his teammates, including Derrek Lee, pitched Thursday for Triple-A Iowa.

"We talked about [it being easier for Zambrano to return on the road]," Piniella said Friday. "I think that [would] probably be a little easier.

"But at the same time, when he gets home, there will be a big media presence."
