Cubs' Brandon Morrow (biceps) not coming off DL Saturday

CHICAGO -- Cubs closer Brandon Morrow's biceps injury is feeling better, but he won't come off the disabled list on Saturday when he's first eligible.

"I'm hoping to pick up a baseball by then," Morrow said Wednesday morning. "I haven't been throwing. There is a little bit of soreness left but it's going in the right direction. Each day it's been better."

Morrow has been out since experiencing soreness before the All-Star break. He claims the pain is a "fraction" of what it was and is confident it won't be an issue which lingers once he returns.
