Headley getting closer to game action

PEORIA, Ariz. -- Third baseman Chase Headley, who has not played in any Cactus League games since straining his right calf Feb. 22, is improving and could get in a game within a week, according to Padres manager Bud Black.

Black said Headley has been hitting on the field, taking ground balls and doing his normal cardiovascular work.

"The amount of time and the intensity of him being on his feet is increasing," Black said. 'He's getting closer. We don't have a hard date of when he's going to play, but he's nearing that."
