MILES MIKOLAS NEWS

Stands out in extended rehab outing Mikolas (forearm) fired four scoreless innings during Triple-A Memphis' win over Gwinnett on Thursday, allowing three hits and a walk while recording two strikeouts.

Impact Mikolas worked up to 58 pitches, 36 which he threw for strikes, after throwing about 45 between his first rehab start and a post-outing bullpen session with the Redbirds on Saturday. Now sporting an unblemished ERA over seven rehab frames, Mikolas will look to keep that streak going and likely boost his pitch count to the 65-to-70 range in his next start with Memphis.

Excellent in first rehab start Mikolas (forearm) started and threw three perfect innings in Triple-A Memphis' win over Louisville on Saturday.

Impact The recovering right-hander's first taste of game action since his only 2021 big-league start May 22 went off without a hitch. Mikolas logged 29 offerings overall, and he'll presumably look to build up to the 35-to-40-pitch range in his next turn with the Redbirds.

Throws extensive live session Mikolas (forearm) threw 60 pitches of live batting practice Tuesday, Jeff Jones of the Belleville News-Democrat reports.

Impact The righty also threw 30 warmup pitches, so he threw roughly 90 in total. Mikolas said he focused more on recapturing the feel for his pitches rather than throwing with full intensity. Assuming he recovers well in the next couple days, Mikolas should be ready to start a lengthy rehab assignment.

Live BP set Mikolas (forearm) is set to throw live batting practice Wednesday, after which he's expected to embark on a rehab assignment, the Associated Press reports.

Impact The right-hander is finally on the precipice of getting back into game action after an extended layoff that's seen him throw all of four innings (this season) since 2019. Mikolas is likely in for a fairly extensive rehab assignment at what might be multiple affiliates before activation is deemed appropriate.

Closing in on rehab assignment Mikolas (forearm) will throw one more bullpen session before heading out on a rehab assignment, Katie Woo of The Athletic reports.

Impact Mikolas has made just a single start this season, as he returned from a shoulder injury in late May only to be immediately shut down with forearm tightness. He's trending in the right direction, though his long absence means he'll likely need a fairly lengthy rehab assignment before returning to the big leagues.
