He is hoping to return to the rotation on April 25th, the day he is eligible to come off the DL. Ramon Hernandez (strained oblique) took batting practice on the 20th, and was a possibility to return to the team over the weekend, but will instead go on a rehab assignment. Wright will be pitching to Hernandez in a class-A game tonight.
Chicago Cubs: Mark Prior will undergo surgery on Tuesday. Wade Miller (back spasms) has been placed on the DL.
Cleveland Indians: The Indians have placed 3B Andy Marte on the DL with a strained hamstring. The injury occurred running out a groundball at Tampa Bay on the 22nd.
