According to Bollinger, Tsuyoshi Nishioka is scheduled to play his first rehab game on Friday at shortstop at extended Spring Training.

– Right handed pitcher Matt Garza was placed on the 15-day Disabled List with a bone bruise in his right elbow reports Paul Sullivan of the Chicago Tribune.

– Lefty Jorge de la Rosa suffered a complete tear of his ulnar collateral ligament in his left elbow according to the team’s official Twitter account. Although the next step for him is being discussed, odds are he will need Tommy John surgery.
