Jon Lester is expected to play in a minor league game Thursday and throw 60 pitches. Lester was scratched from Saturday's scheduled start with a dead arm. If all goes well Thursday, Lester will make one more similar start next week as a final tune-up before taking the ball on opening day. (David Kaplan on Twitter)
Fantasy Impact:
Everything appears to be ok, but the Cubs are understandably being cautious with their prized free agent signing. All parties involved are downplaying the serious of the situation, but I would feel better taking the left-hander closer to the 50-60 pick range of drafts as opposed to the 43.8 average draft position he carries now.
