Cubs RHP Matt Garza is on the disabled list with a stress reaction in his right elbow, and while the injury could mean the end of his season, he's working hard to get back on the field.
Garza said he's "working my tail off to get back" to return this year, and has changed his diet to "incorporate quicker healing."
After going on the DL, Garza tweeted that pitching was like "breathing" to him, and it was difficult to get shut down.
