Tejada's quad is fine, will play tomorrow

After today's loss against the Marlins, Terry Collins said that Ruben Tejada's quad is now fine, and he will be in the lineup tomorrow afternoon against the Cardinals. Tejada has missed the last two games with an apparent cramp in his right quad muscle. He missed almost six weeks last season due to a similar injury to the same muscle. 

I'm glad to see that he will be coming back soon, because it is important for him to get some reps in before the season starts. Tejada is a very important piece to this club, and if this injury ends up being a recurring one, then the team could be in trouble. They may then have to rely on Quintanilla or Hicks at shortstop, and that is unacceptable.
