Patrick Wisdom - Accounts for offense in loss Wisdom went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run in Thursday's 4-2 loss to the Giants.
Impact The Cubs didn't record a hit until the seventh inning, and Wisdom followed that up with a two-run homer off Giants starter Alex Wood. Wisdom's hit safely in six of his last eight games, but he's gone 6-for-27 (.222) in that span with no multi-hit efforts. The third baseman is slashing .222/.317/.446 with 18 homers, 49 RBI, 49 runs scored and six stolen bases in 94 contests this year.

Justin Steele - Dealt seventh loss Steele (4-7) allowed four unearned runs on five hits, a walk and a hit batsman while striking out six in 3.2 innings, taking the loss Thursday versus the Giants.
Impact Errors early in the third and fourth innings ultimately allowed the Giants to tag Steele for a pair of runs in each of those frames. The Cubs' offense couldn't overcome the defensive shortcomings, sending the southpaw to defeat in his shortest outing since a two-inning effort May 26. Steele's ERA dropped to 3.86, but he has an unimpressive 1.43 WHIP and 87:42 K:BB through 91 innings in 19 starts this year. He's projected to make his next start in St. Louis next week.

Impact Alzolay has been throwing bullpen sessions for around the last week at the Cubs' extended spring training facility. He's nearing the next stage in his recovery but will need a few rehab assignments before being activated from the injured list.

Impact Miley has been on the shelf since June 11 while dealing with a left shoulder strain, but Friday's start will bring him one step closer to a return. In four starts with the Cubs this season, the left-hander has produced a 2.84 ERA and 1.21 WHIP with 12 punchouts over 19 innings. If all goes well on his rehab assignment, Miley could potentially return to the big leagues at some point around mid-August.

Wade Miley - Rehab assignment on tap Miley (shoulder) will begin a rehab assignment at High-A South Bend on Wednesday, Bob Nightengale of USA Today reports.
Impact Miley threw 28 pitches during a live BP session Monday and will return to game action to close out the week. The southpaw's minor-league appearance will come four days before the trade deadline, and it's possible that he'll be involved in trade talks if he feels good following the rehab start. Regardless of whether he's dealt, it's possible that the 35-year-old will be able to return to the majors sometime around mid-August.
