Ian Stewart (quad) to begin season on DL
Ian Stewart - 3B - Chicago Cubs
March 19, 2013 - 1:05 PM ET
Ian Stewart (quad) has been ruled out for Opening Day.
Stewart recently underwent an MRI, which showed fluid in his left quad. The Cubs could save $1.5 million of Stewart's $2 million contract if they cut him before Opening Day, but they'll likely keep him around and place him on the disabled list. Luis Valbuena is poised to open the season as the starting third baseman, but he's not worth owning in most fantasy leagues.
