Lifted from his last start because of cramping in his right elbow, Garza was feeling better on Monday but will most likely be skipped in the rotation at least one start, the Cubs' web site reports. "Garza is better today - there's some improvement," manager Dale Sveum said on Monday. "[His arm is] not quite extendable, but he doesn't seem to be concerned about it. I think [Tuesday] will be the big day to do the evaluation."
