MESA, Ariz. – Cubs manager Craig Counsell acknowledged that this can be a tough week for players who don’t know where they’ll be starting the season.
With a week left in spring training, teams are working toward finalizing their Opening Day rosters.
“Everybody knows the names,” Counsell said. “ And we're biding time a little bit because of things that can happen. And you don't make decisions for that reason, because something can happen today, tomorrow, the next day.”
That something could be an injury. Corner infielder Patrick Wisdom (back stiffness) was scheduled to return to the lineup Tuesday, but he was scratched.
