This is a weird thing to say about a pitcher who dominated like a fiend en route to winning the National League Cy Young in 2015, but here goes:
Jake Arrieta appears to be just fine, thank you very much.
The 30-year-old right-hander looked very much like his 2015 self in the Chicago Cubs' season-opening 9-0 win over the Los Angeles Angels at Angel Stadium of Anaheim on Monday night. He pitched seven shutout innings with two hits allowed, one walk and six strikeouts.
