Matt Garza - S - Chicago Cubs
Dec. 28, 2012 - 9:50 PM ET

Matt Garza, who recently received clearance to begin throwing, guaranteed that he'll be ready to go by Opening Day.

He's currently rehabilitating from a stress reaction in his right elbow that forced him to miss the final 11 weeks of the 2012 campaign. He's reported no issues with the elbow since he's resumed throwing, and should be expected to take the ball on Opening Day.
