The Chicago Tribune reports that Ian Stewart (quad) is likely to make the Cubs even if he starts the season on the disabled list. There was speculation that Stewart's roster spot could be in jeopardy due to his lingering quad injury, but he's hoping to avoid the DL and return to games by next weekend. The Cubs could save $1.5 million if they release Stewart before the end of camp.
