Garciaparra, who was in Chicago to meet with doctors and see some of his former Boston Red Sox teammates over the weekend, said that he is feeling better, but his rehab in Arizona is requiring patience.

He is able to do some limited jogging and has been involved with extensive physical therapy. He may hit balls off of a tee this week. On Friday during batting practice at Wrigley Field, he took a few grounders from a stationary position.

I'd be happy if he is back in September. Would be great pickup for a playoff run .
