Victorino (calf) will not be on the Cubs' Opening Day roster, Joe Maddon told Patrick Mooney of CSN Chicago.

EDGE Analysis

Victorino is a non-roster invite, so the Cubs won't open a 40-man roster spot just to put him on the disabled list once the season starts. Maddon said the Cubs are working on "alternative plans" to fit him into the roster right now, so it's still possible Victorino could find his way to the North Side at some point this season.
