Mark DeRosa returned to Cubs camp Sunday, three days after undergoing a radiofrequency catheter ablation to correct an irregular heartbeat. "I feel great," DeRosa told MLB.com.

It was a success." DeRosa is a few days behind the other Cubs hitters, but he says he'll definitely be good to go on opening day. "I'll be fine," DeRosa said. "I'll be fine by Monday - I'm fine now." This shouldn't affect where you would draft DeRosa. | February 28, 2008

Mark DeRosa will undergo surgery Thursday to stop an irregular heartbeat. The condition has been affecting him since his teenage years, according to the Chicago Tribune. The procedure involves putting a catheter in a vein in the groin which is then threaded into the heart to induce an irregular heartbeat.

He could resume baseball activities by the beginning of next week and play in games shortly after that. This isn't a life-threatening situation, but it's got to be scary for DeRosa, nonetheless. It sounds as if he'll be fine by opening day. | February 26, 2008

I'm 32, I don't want to be on medication for the rest of my life if there's a procedure I can do." The team hopes to have DeRosa back on the field soon, possibly within a week, but that will obviously depend on how involved the procedure is. | February 24, 2008
