Jon Lester has declared himself ready for Opening Day after tossing 84 pitches in a Minor League game on Tuesday.

After he missed a spring start earlier this month due to a fatigued arm there was some concern about his availability to begin the season.

"Once we get to a game with some fans and some adrenaline I think things will sharpen up a little bit," Lester said. "We'll figure it out. This game is built on adjustments."

Lester signed with the Chicago Cubs as a free agent this offseason.
