Josh Willingham (knee) could be activated before the second game of Friday's doubleheader in Chicago. Willingham had been slated for activation on Saturday, but his timetable has been moved up a bit. That's assuming, of course, that he gets through his rehab games the next few days with no setbacks. He's been out early July following arthroscopic surgery on his right knee.
