Impact The 32-year-old received a second opinion on his injured right forearm which confirmed he's not dealing with structural damage or a UCL injury, but he'll still be sidelined for the foreseeable future after receiving treatment. Mikolas is expected to pitch again this season, but he likely won't be back before late July at minimum, since a recovery timeline won't be established for at least a month.

No major news with doctor visit Mikolas' (forearm) visit to Dr. James Andrews on Wednesday did not seem to reveal any new information about the pitcher's injury, Jeff Jones of the Belleville News-Democrat reports...

Impact Shildt added that the Cardinals' doctors would still need to evaluate Andrews' opinion and he didn't want to elaborate too much until that had an opportunity to unfold. Mikolas could be facing a variety of scenarios in terms of his recovery timeline, but he at least seemed to produce an encouraging MRI on Sunday. The veteran isn't eligible to come off the injured list until early next week, so further clarity on his condition may not be gleaned until sometime this weekend.

Sent for second opinion Mikolas (forearm) will get a second opinion from Dr. James Andrews on Wednesday, Zachary Silver of MLB.com reports.

Impact Dr. Andrews' name is practically synonymous with Tommy John surgery, so this news isn't exactly what those with Mikolas on their fantasy teams wanted to hear. Merely getting a second opinion on a tight forearm is by no means a guarantee that such drastic measures are needed, however, and the Cardinals appeared confident immediately following the righty's MRI on Sunday, so it's possible such fears are overblown in this instance.

Team encouraged by MRI Manager Mike Shildt said that Mikolas' right forearm is "structurally intact" after the 32-year-old underwent an MRI on Sunday, Jeff Jones of the Belleville News-Democrat reports.

Impact After missing the first month and a half of the season with a sore shoulder, Mikolas finally returned from the 10-day injured list to make his season debut in Saturday's win over the Cubs. He was sharp over his four innings, but forearm tightness resulted in an early end to his start. The Cardinals moved him back to the IL a day later, and though Mikolas appears to have avoided a significant setback, he'll still likely need more than the minimum 10 days to recover from the injury. Johan Oviedo is the leading candidate to replace Mikolas in St. Louis' rotation.

Lands on injured list Mikolas was placed on the 10-day injured list Sunday with right forearm tightness.

Impact The 32-year-old returned from the injured list Saturday and made his first start since late 2019 after missing the beginning of the season with a shoulder injury, but he was lifted after experiencing forearm tightness. Mikolas also missed the entirety of last season due to forearm surgery, so another arm injury is a worrisome development. The right-hander's recovery timeline should come into focus once the results of his MRI are announced.

Exits with forearm tightness Mikolas was removed from Saturday's start against the Cubs with right forearm tightness, Katie Woo of The Athletic reports.

Impact The 32-year-old surrendered one run over four frames during his first outing since the 2019 playoffs, but he left the contest after the forearm issue cropped up while warming up for the fifth inning. It's obviously a worrying development for Mikolas, who missed the entirety of last season due to surgery on his right flexor tendon. According to Zachary Silver of MLB.com, the right-hander is unsurprisingly undergoing an MRI to help determine the severity of the issue.

Activated ahead of start Mikolas (shoulder) was activated from the 10-day injured list as expected ahead of his scheduled start Saturday against the Cubs.

Impact Mikolas missed all of last season with a forearm injury and has been out since the start of this year with a shoulder issue. He's looked good in three rehab outings, posting a 3.65 ERA and an 11:2 K:BB in 12.1 innings for Triple-A Memphis. He threw 80 pitches in his most recent rehab start, so he should be able to get close 100 pitches Saturday if all goes well. Seth Elledge was optioned in a corresponding move.
