Cubs' Ben Zobrist: Remains out with neck issue

Zobrist (neck) remains out of the Cubs' Cactus League lineup Thursday for the second straight game, Mark Gonzales of the Chicago Tribune reports.

Analysis:

While it's poor timing this close to the season for Zobrist to miss time, neither Chicago nor the media has sounded any alarms yet. The veteran remains day-to-day until a more extensive update is given.
