Cubs' John Lackey: Plays catch Tuesday
Lackey (shoulder) played catch Tuesday, Carrie Muskat of MLB.com reports.
Analysis:
His move to the DL was described as "precautionary more than anything," and Lackey's ability to resume throwing just days after being deactivated fully supports that notion. The Cubs are hoping Lackey will be able to throw a bullpen session this weekend in Los Angeles in preparation for an early-September return to the major league rotation.
