Baker eyeing Opening Day
MESA, Ariz. – Cubs starting pitcher Scott Baker is optimistic that come Opening Day, he will be completely healthy and part of the rotation.
Manager Dale Sveum cautioned against expecting Baker, who is rehabbing from Tommy John surgery, to be ready to go April 1. The Cubs plan to be careful with Baker’s workload early in spring training.
“He’s going to be a little more babied,” Sveum said. “His effort level is going to pick up as spring goes along.”
