Derrek Lee (foot) was 0-for-2 with a walk in his return to the lineup on Thursday.
Lee suffered a bone bruise when he fouled a ball off his left foot last Wednesday.
Chad Tracy went 2-for-2 with a double and a walk Thursday versus the Dodgers.
Tracy didn't seem like much of a fit for the Cubs on the day he was signed and nothing has changed now, but he might be able to help someone, particularly if he can play third base once or twice a week. He's 6-for-20 this spring.

Aramis Ramirez (triceps) was scratched from Thursday's lineup against the Dodgers.
Ramirez is still being bothered by some soreness in his right quadriceps. He hasn't played since last Saturday. "I'm not concerned about it, he doesn't seem to be," said manager Lou Piniella "Mark O'Neal, our [athletic] trainer, doesn't seem to be. It's lasting a little longer than we anticipated. It's in the muscle. How long can that linger?" Piniella said that if Ramirez doesn't play in the next day or so, he could get some at-bats in minor league camp.
Angel Guzman has opted to have surgery on his right shoulder.
The right-hander paid a visit to Dr. James Andrews earlier this week and a surgical procedure was the recommendation given. Guzman, 28, is likely to miss a large chunk of the regular season, which is a major hit to the back end of the Cubs' bullpen. He had a 2.95 ERA in 55 outings last season.
Carlos Silva blanked the Rangers for four innings to pick up a win Tuesday.
Silva has bounced back from a horrific first start to pitch seven scoreless innings his last two times out. He appears to be in prime position to claim a spot in the Cubs rotation to start the year. Still, he could be bounced as soon as Ted Lilly returns in mid-April.
Jeff Baker homered off C.J. Wilson in his lone at-bat Tuesday against the Rangers.
Wilson was otherwise dealing, but Baker, who hit .314/.364/.490 in 51 at-bats against lefties last year for the Cubs, was able to get to him. While it appears as though Mike Fontenot is on his way to being named the Cubs' starting second baseman, the team still figures to use Baker there against lefties. A strict platoon would make plenty of sense.
Cubs optioned RHP Rafael Dolis to Double-A Tennessee.
Dolis, who turned 22 in January, was 3-9 with a 3.79 ERA and 1.31 WHIP in 27 games (25 starts) with High-A Daytona in 2009, his first full season since returning from Tommy John surgery.
