NBC SportsJavier Assad is dealing with oblique soreness.

Counsell added that Assad will undergo additional imaging, including an MRI, which isn't an encouraging development. The positive news here is that he still has plenty of time to recover and ramp-up his throwing program in advance of Opening Day. The 27-year-old righty, who posted a respectable 3.73 ERA, 1.40 WHIP and 124/63 K/BB ratio across 147 innings (29 starts) last year, enters spring training in competition for the final spot in Chicago's season-opening rotation. His absence could open the door for Colin Rea, Ben Brown or Jordan Wicks to break camp in the majors. There should be additional clarity on his status in the coming days.
