Billingsley roughed up in first spring outing
Chad Billingsley - S - Los Angeles Dodgers
Feb. 25, 2013 - 7:05 PM ET

Chad Billingsley surrendered five hits and two earned runs over two innings Monday against the Cubs.

It's usually foolish to read too much into early-spring performances, but Billingsley is a unique case because he is still recovering from a partially torn UCL in his right elbow. He'll need to do better to prove to the Dodgers that he is physically prepared for the regular season.
