Chad Billingsley, sp, LA: Dodgers remain optimistic that he'll open the season on time.
Trevor Hoffman, rp, Mil: Reported progress with his oblique strain. Likely will begin minor league rehab assignment later this week, but will open the season on the DL. Carlos Villanueva will get save opps until Hoffman returns.
Josh Willingham, of, Was: Like Austin Kerans, he's slated to play reserve role to start the season -- unless he's traded before opening day.
Kevin Gregg and Carlos Marmol, rp, Chi: Manager Lou Piniella picked Gregg to be the team's closer to open the season after an effective spring. Keep an eye on Marmol, who could step forward if Gregg blows up.
Troy Glaus, 3b, StL: Says he doesn't know when he'll be able to pick up a bat or ball. Ouch. Cards hoped to have him back by early May, but now all bets are off.
Micah Owings, sp, Cin: Appears to have won Reds' No. 5 starter spot over Homer Bailey. Doh!
Lance Berkman, 1b, Hou: Will miss a couple of more days with bicep tendinitis and could be in danger of missing Opening Day.
