Rehab start coming Sunday Mills (back) will make a rehab start Sunday for Triple-A Iowa, Andy Martinez of Marquee Sports Network reports.
Impact Mills has been out for just shy of a week with a lower-back strain. Given the relatively brief nature of his absence, it's possible he'll require just one rehab appearance. He'll be eligible to return from the injured list Wednesday.

Bullpen scheduled for Thursday Mills (back) will throw a light bullpen session Thursday, Maddie Lee of NBC Sports Chicago reports.

Lands on injured list Mills was placed on the 10-day injured list Sunday with a strained lower back.
Impact The 29-year-old surrendered 11 runs (nine earned) over his past four outings, including three runs over 1.2 frames Saturday, and the back issue could help explain some of his struggles. Mills will be eligible to be activated May 26, though it's unclear how long he's expected to be sidelined.

Picks up win Mills (1-0) pitched three scoreless innings while allowing just one hit and striking out two to pick up the win over the Mets on Wednesday.
Impact The Cubs went to the bullpen early after Zach Davies was pinch hit for in the bottom of the fourth, so Mills was called upon to eat up some innings. The 29-year-old was nearly perfect, as he faced the minimum nine batters through three innings after erasing a leadoff single by Francisco Lindor in the seventh with a 4-5-3 double play. It was encouraging to see Mills bounce back from back-to-back troublesome outings prior to this one. He'll continue to hold down a long-relief role out of the bullpen and shouldn't need that much rest after throwing only 27 pitches Wednesday.
