Brewers right-hander Ben Sheets, who tweaked his back during his last start, played catch Saturday. Sheets said the injury was not as bad as when he suffered back spasms at Chicago in May. He has not been cleared for his scheduled start Monday but said he believed he would pitch "unless it regresses, and it has never done that."

Sammy Sosa missed his first game this season because of injury Sunday. A strained neck on the right side, suffered while swinging Saturday, sent Sosa back to Chicago on Sunday morning before the Cubs completed their three-game series against the Arizona Diamondbacks.
The Cubs hope Sosa joins them tonight in Milwaukee for the opener of a four-game series against the Brewers, but when he can play again is uncertain.
