Cosart (vertigo) is scheduled to pitch an extended spring training game Monday if he is able to complete throwing sessions on Wednesday and Friday without incident, MLB.com reports.

Analysis:

The schedule would make Cosart an option to return to the Marlins rotation next weekend if everything goes well, meaning that the team will need to squeak through another turn in the rotation without him. Cosart was off to a middling start to the season prior to landing on the DL, posting a 4.058 ERA but with a 1.16 WHIP over 39.2 innings in seven starts.
