I guess this is good news. Anything that might lead to Coleman or Russell leaving the rotation has to be good, right?
Todd Wellemeyer - S - Cubs
Todd Wellemeyer (hip) will make his first start at Triple-A Iowa on Thursday.
Wellemeyer has been sidelined since the middle of spring training by a hip injury. He's ready now to begin making minor league starts and could be in line for a spot outing with the Cubs if everything goes well down on the farm. "I feel stronger than ever, really," the right-hander said Sunday. "Now it’s just a matter of breaking the arm in and getting the durability up."
