His condition has improved significantly since then, with Whitley having since resumed facing hitters. He'll likely throw in a few simulated or rehab games in the near future and should be ready to return from the DL when first eligible April 5 or shortly thereafter.

Braves' Chase Whitley: Likely to hit DL with staph infection
Chase Whitley is expected to open the season on the disabled list while he recovers from a staph infection that affected his heart rate as recently as last week, Mark Bowman of MLB.com reports.The infection originated from a blister that Whitley developed on his right heel in early March, prompting the Atlanta Braves to shut him down in what was only expected to be a temporary measure. However, after the infection spread internally to his lymph nodes, Whitley experienced numbness in his right leg, which necessitated more urgent medical care. It seems the treatment Whitley has received is working, as he was cleared to face hitters in batting practice Wednesday. He can now focus on building up his arm after being idle for the last few weeks and should be ready to return from the DL when or shortly after the 10 days lapse.

Rays' Chase Whitley: Solid one-inning appearance in win
Chase Whitley fired a scoreless ninth inning in Wednesday's 8-1 win over the Cubs, allowing a hit and recording a strikeout.Whitley snapped back to form after allowing four runs (two earned) over an inning to the Red Sox last Friday. The 28-year-old right-hander has had a strong September otherwise, generating four scoreless efforts and a 6:1 K:BB over 5.1 innings.
