Matt Garza - S - Chicago Cubs
Feb. 19, 2013 - 3:15 PM ET

Matt Garza was diagnosed with a mild lat strain following an MRI.

Garza will rest for one week before trying to throw again. His first Cactus League start will be pushed back, but it's too soon to say whether it will affect his readiness for the start of the season. All things considered, this is pretty good news for the Cubs.
