Cubs' Kyle Schwarber: Catches bullpen session

Schwarber caught a bullpen session from John Lackey on Friday, MLB.com reports.

Analysis:

Schwarber had his left leg extended while in the squat to avoid putting extra stress on the knee, so he's clearly easing back into the position. Still, this is a good sign for Schwarber, who is expected to serve as the team's third catcher this season. Look for him to do more work behind the plate during spring training, but Schwarber's primary position this year will be left field.
