Matt Garza won't be pitching for the Cubs any time soon; the righthander has a stress reaction in his elbow that will keep him out of action indefinitely -- perhaps for the rest of 2012.

Hoyer on Garza's status: "He's likely to be a member of the Cubs in 2013... (Trading him) is the last thing we're thinking of."

Garza is 5-7 with a 3.91 ERA in 2012. He has struck out 96 and walked 32 in 103-2/3 innings.
