May 12, 2005
Trying to pitch his second game on back-to-back nights, Joe Borowski faced only one batter in his rehab appearance Wednesday before the game was called due to rain, according to the Daily Southtown. As a result, he likely will not be activated from the DL this weekend, so he can get some more rehab work.

Joe Borowski pitched a perfect inning in relief for Triple-A Iowa on Tuesday. "I was told he made 11 pitches, no hits, a couple strikeouts," Cubs manager Dusty Baker told the AP.

Joe Borowski suffered a hairline crack in his right wrist while fielding a comebacker in a Cactus League game Monday and will be out for at least three-to-four weeks, according to the Chicago Tribune. Borowski was pitching well this spring and was in line to reclaim the Cubs' closer job, but this injury will prevent him from pitching in the majors until mid-May at the earliest. LaTroy Hawkins will be thrust into the closer role for the time being.
March 8, 2005
Joe Borowski surrendered a leadoff walk in his spring debut on Monday but then got a double play and a strikeout to escape the inning. The Chicago Tribune reports that Borowski was throwing 88 MPH, an improvement over last spring. It appears that Borowski may be the favorite for the closer job on the Cubs, as Ryan Dempster is being stretched for a possible starting gig and has reportedly conceded the job to Borowski.
February 19, 2005
Joe Borowski missed much of last season with a torn rotator cuff, and a strenuous offseason program to rehabilitate the joint helped him lose 15-20 pounds, according to the Sun-Times. "He's better now than at any point we saw him last year," manager Dusty Baker said after watching Borowski throw yesterday.
