SAN DIEGO (Ticker) -- Tony Gwynn is going to get 3,000 hits. It will just be delayed a little while. Gwynn suffered a strained left calf muscle in Friday night's 5-4 victory over the Cincinnati Reds. He said he will be out two weeks and is expected to be placed on the 15-day disabled list today. The eight-time batting champion suffered the injury running out a ground ball in the first inning and had to be helped off the field by members of the training staff. "Right out of the box it just grabbed me. I topped the ball so I knew I had to go," Gwynn said. "It's one of those things that happens. I know I'll be out two weeks, after that we'll see what happens. "At first I thought the bat might've wrapped around my ankle. I came in and iced it and I can still feel it from the middle of my calf to the back of my knee." Gwynn has 2,975 hits, leaving him 25 shy of becoming the 22nd player to reach the 3,000-hit plateau. "I thought about it when I got in here," Gwynn said. "It's ironic I think that (Wade) Boggs gets hurt and (Cal) Ripken gets hurt and I got hurt." Gwynn, Boggs and Ripken all were expected to reach 3,000 hits this season. Boggs needs 55 and Ripken 105. The 39-year-old Gwynn is batting .333 with three homers and 19 RBI in 38 games this season. Last year, he batted .321 with 16 homers and 69 RBI, leading the Padres to the World Series. Only Hall of Famer Ty Cobb has won more batting titles (12) than Gwynn, who shares the National League record with Honus Wagner.
