Wells to Start Cubs Cactus League Opener
Randy Wells will start the Cubs’ Cactus League opener on Thursday, the Chicago Tribune reports. With Ted Lilly likely to miss the start of the season, the Cubs are looking at Sean Marshall and Tom Gorzelanny for one of their rotation vacancies so as to avoid having five right-handed starters. Wells’ place looks to be secure behind Carlos Zambrano and Ryan Dempster, leaving Carlos Silva and Jeff Samardzija to try and battle for the last remaining starting spot. (Rotowire)
