Arrieta said he'd be ready for Opening DayMESA, Ariz. -- The Chicago Cubs will be cautious with Jake Arrieta after the reigning NL Cy Young Award winner left Thursday's game with a blister, manager Joe Maddon said Friday.
While Arrieta said he'd be ready for Opening Day, Maddon on Friday said he's taking a wait-and-see approach.
"I don't know that yet," Maddon said. "Blisters can be funny. Right now we haven't called off the jam yet. We want to look at it after another day or two. You don't want it to be chronic.
