Although Fox (elbow) was examined by Dr. James Andrews on Wednedsay, it may be three to four weeks before he and the Cubs decide whether he'll need surgery, the Cubs' official site reports.
If Fox can manage to avoid a third elbow ligament-replacement surgery, he'll try to return, the Chicago Tribune reports.
The MRI on Fox's elbow was inconclusive, in part because he's had three previous elbow surgeries, the Chicago Sun-Times reports.
ChadFox is not expected to be activated until the Red Sox head out on their next road trip, at the earliest, according to the Boston Herald.
ChadFox appears to be on track for a trip to Triple-A Pawtucket next week after pitching an inning for Single-A Sarasota on Friday, according to the AP.
ChadFox still hasn\'t been able to throw off a mound due to his strained left oblique and could be several weeks away from returning to action, according to the Boston Globe.
