Month away from throwing Heuer (elbow) is slated to begin a throwing program in mid-November, Meghan Montemurro of the Chicago Tribune reports.

Impact Heuer had surgery to repair a fractured right elbow in late June and has completed the initial healing and range of motion phase of his recovery. The next step will be throwing, which will begin in about a month. There is no timetable for Heuer's return, but he would seem to have a good shot to be ready for Opening Day in 2024 if he can progress without setbacks.

Out for season Heuer underwent surgery on his fractured right elbow Friday and is out for the rest of the season, Maddie Lee of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.

Impact Heuer was in the process of working his way back from Tommy John surgery when he suffered another injury in his elbow during a rehab assignment. He has not pitched in the majors since 2021, and now he will have to wait until 2024 for his next opportunity.

Suffers arm injury on rehab Heuer (elbow) was removed from his latest rehab appearance Tuesday with Triple-A Iowa due to an apparent arm injury, Paul Sullivan of the Chicago Tribune reports.

Impact Heuer is working his way back from March 2022 Tommy John surgery, but it's unclear if he suffered an aggravation with his elbow or if he's tending to a new injury. Before his early departure Tuesday, Heuer had largely struggled over a rehab assignment that began at Iowa in early May, posting a 7.82 ERA, 2.05 WHIP and 15:11 K:BB in 12.2 innings over 15 appearances.

Set for another rehab outing Heuer (elbow) will pitch Tuesday at Triple-A Iowa, Meghan Montemurro of the Chicago Tribune reports.

Impact Heuer is set for another rehab appearance as he continues his recovery from Tommy John surgery. It's unclear if this will be his last minor-league action prior to being activated from the 60-day injured list, though the next steps should become more clear after Tuesday's outing.

JUNE 6, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Another rehab outing Tuesday Heuer (elbow) will make another rehab appearance Tuesday with Triple-A Iowa, Tony Andracki of Marquee Sports Network reports.

Impact This could be one of the final tests for Heuer, who struggled in the early part of his minor-league rehab stint but tallied two strikeouts over 1.1 hitless innings this past Saturday versus the Triple-A affiliate of the Brewers. He worked 1.2 scoreless frames for Iowa last Wednesday. The 26-year-old reliever is on the long road back from Tommy John surgery.

MAY 30, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Another rehab outing this week Heuer (elbow) is on track for another rehab outing this week with Triple-A Iowa, Tim Stebbins of MLB.com reports.

Impact Heuer has struggled mightily on the farm so far, yielding seven earned runs on six hits and six walks through 4.2 innings of work. He's on the 60-day IL, so the Cubs can slow-play the final steps of his recovery from Tommy John surgery until they see better results. There's no exact timetable for his activation.

MAY 23, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Continuing rehab at Triple-A Heuer (elbow) is scheduled for a third minor-league rehab appearance Friday with Triple-A Iowa, Meghan Montemurro of the Chicago Tribune reports.

Impact Heuer struggled in his rehab debut Saturday with Iowa before striking out two of three batters he faced in his second rehab outing Tuesday. The 26-year-old reliever is on the long road back from Tommy John surgery and should be an option for the Cubs' bullpen at the end of this month. He's on the 60-day IL and isn't eligible for activation until May 29.

MAY 10, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Starting rehab assignment Heuer (elbow) will begin a rehab assignment with Triple-A Iowa on Saturday, Jordan Bastian of MLB.com reports.

Impact It will be the first game action for Heuer since he underwent Tommy John surgery last March. Because he's missed so much time, a lengthy rehab assignment figures to be in order. He could eventually work his way into high-leverage relief spots for the Cubs.

MAY 5, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Throws simulated game Codi Heuer (elbow) threw a 25-pitch simulated game Wednesday, Andy Martinez of Marquee Sports Network reports.

Impact Heuer said he felt good during and after the workout and added that he's lined up for another simulated game in the next few days. Nearing the end of his recovery from Tommy John surgery, which he underwent in March 2022, the 26-year-old reliever should be an option for the Cubs around early June.

APRIL 26, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Throwing simulated game Heuer (elbow) will throw a one-inning simulated game at the Cubs' spring training complex in Arizona on Saturday, Ryan Herrera of AllCHGO.com reports.

Impact Heuer continues chugging along in his rehab from Tommy John surgery. Reporting to a minor-league affiliate to begin a rehab assignment would seem to be around the corner, although there's no date for that yet.

APRIL 21, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Scheduled for live BP on Tuesday Heuer (elbow) will throw a one-inning live batting practice Tuesday, Sahadev Sharma of The Athletic reports.

Impact After undergoing Tommy John surgery back in March 2022, Heuer continues to progress through the rehab process and has now been cleared to face hitters. He still has a ways to go and will likely require a lengthy minor-league rehab assignment, but he remains on track to return around mid-June.

APRIL 11, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Shuttled to 60-day IL The Cubs placed Heuer (elbow) on the 60-day injured list Monday, Sahadev Sharma of The Athletic reports.

Impact Heuer was already expected to be sidelined until around mid-season while he recovers from March 2022 Tommy John surgery, so his move to the 60-day IL is merely a formality that opens up a spot on the 40-man roster for newly signed reliever Michael Fulmer. If Heuer is able to regain velocity and command once he concludes what will likely be an extended rehab assignment in the minors, he could emerge as a key late-inning arm for the big club in the second half of the season. At this stage of Heuer's rehab, Maddie Lee of the Chicago Sun-Times relays that the right-hander is throwing bullpen sessions, but he's not yet been cleared to face hitters.

FEBRUARY 20, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Could start year on 60-day IL Heuer (elbow) might begin the season on the 60-day injured list, Cubs president of baseball operations Jed Hoyer told Andy Martinez of Marquee Sports Network on Wednesday.

Impact Heuer is coming up on the one-year anniversary of his Tommy John surgery, so him getting a late start to the season was expected. The right-hander doesn't figure to be ready to join the Cubs' bullpen until at least June or so and even after returning the team will be careful with his workload.

FEBRUARY 17, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Avoids arbitration Heuer (elbow) and the Cubs agreed on a one-year, $785,000 contract Friday to avoid arbitration, Jon Heyman of the New York Post reports.

Impact The right-hander missed the entirety of the 2022 campaign after undergoing Tommy John surgery in early March and he will look to make his return to the mound in 2023. Heuer last pitched in 2021, producing a 4.28 ERA and 1.31 WHIP with 56 strikeouts over 67.1 innings in 65 appearances between the White Sox and Cubs.
