Slated to start Wednesday Ponce de Leon will start Wednesday's game against the Twins, Jeff Jones of the Belleville News-Democrat reports.
Impact Ponce de Leon will fill in as a starter for Miles Mikolas (forearm), who will miss the remainder of the season. The right-hander made a brief appearance as a reliever Saturday, allowing no baserunners while recording one out. Manager Mike Shildt revealed Tuesday that the appearance helped to keep him on a throwing schedule in case he had to fill in Wednesday, so Ponce de Leon should be fully rested heading into his start.

Impact Ponce de Leon had already made a formidable case for an Opening Day roster spot with an impressive spring before play was paused, and the expanded rosters that will be in play for approximately the first month of the 60-game season only enhance his chances. The versatile right-hander tweaked his cutter and curveball grips during the shutdown, and he utilized those pitches alongside his changeup and fastball during Saturday's workout. Ponce de Leon also maintained a regular throwing routine over the last three-plus months, as he was able to play catch frequently at a local park and throw bullpen sessions twice a week at Stetson College near his home in Florida.
