Javier Assad Exits Rehab Start With Injury

Chicago Cubs starting pitcher Javier Assad (oblique) left his rehab start early on Tuesday after grabbing at his side while warming up for the fifth inning.

Michael Toglia Absent On Tuesday

Colorado Rockies first baseman Michael Toglia is out of the lineup Tuesday against the Dodgers. He'll take a breather for the first time this season after starting each of the team's first 16 games.
