Zobrist likely to return today or tomorrow

MESA, Ariz. - Having missed a week of Cactus League games because of neck soreness, Ben Zobrist thinks he can return to the Cubs lineup on Monday night - or, perhaps, the day after.

"At the beginning of the week, it was unmanageable," he said Sunday before the Cubs hosted the Padres in a split-squad game. "But now I'm out on the field doing stuff (before the game). So I'll probably play in the game (Monday), if not Tuesday.

"And I'll have at least three or four exhibition games before we start the season."
