Victorino (calf) was released by the Cubs on Tuesday, but the team does hope to re-sign him, Patrick Mooney of CSN Chicago reports.

EDGE Analysis

The Cubs want Victorino to continue rehabbing at extended spring training once the season begins. He may be looking at opportunities with other organizations, but regardless of where he ends up, Victorino won't be ready for games within the first few weeks of the season. Should he stay with the Cubs, he'll likely end up at Triple-A Iowa once/if he gets healthy.
