WADE MILEY NEWS

Another throwing session Miley (shoulder) played light catch Thursday, Meghan Montemurro of the Chicago Tribune reports.

Impact This is at least the second time that Miley has thrown since being placed on the injured list June 11. However, he still needs to ramp up his intensity and will likely require at least a short rehab assignment. Given that, he almost certainly will not be back prior to the All-Star break and early August could be a more realistic target.

To IL with shoulder strain Miley was placed on the 15-day injured list Saturday with a left shoulder strain, Sahadev Sharma of The Athletic reports.

Impact Miley dealt with a shoulder injury earlier this year as well and has only made four starts for the Cubs in 2022. He has a 2.84 ERA, 1.21 WHIP and 12 strikeouts in 19 innings and should be considered out indefinitely.

Set for re-examination Monday Miley (shoulder) will be re-examined Monday, Meghan Montemurro of the Chicago Tribune reports.

Impact Miley exited Friday's game against the Yankees after three innings due to left shoulder soreness after he spent time on the injured list with a similar issue prior to the matchup. The southpaw said after the game that he didn't want to predict whether he'd require another IL stint, but more information will likely be known after he's re-examined Monday. If he's cleared to make his next start, he tentatively lines up to take the mound at home against the Padres on Wednesday.

Exits with trainer Miley was removed from Friday's game against the Yankees prior to the bottom of the fourth inning due to left shoulder soreness, Meghan Montemurro of the Chicago Tribune reports.

Impact Miley was effective early in Friday's matchup, allowing three hits and a walk while striking out two in three scoreless innings. He threw 30 of his 42 pitches for strikes but was removed from the game after he was visited by a trainer while warming up in the middle of the fourth inning. The southpaw was activated from the injured list prior to Friday's start after missing nearly three weeks with a left shoulder strain, so it's concerning to see the issue pop up during his return to the mound. It's not yet clear whether Miley will require another trip to the injured list.

Reinstated for Friday's start Miley (shoulder) was activated from the 15-day injured list ahead of his start against the Yankees on Friday, Gordon Wittenmyer of NBC Sports Chicago reports.

Impact Miley was sidelined for nearly three weeks with a strained left shoulder, but he'll rejoin the rotation Friday without requiring a minor-league rehab assignment. Miley may face some workload restrictions since he hasn't seen game action since May 22.

Returning from injured list Friday Miley (shoulder) will be activated off the 15-day injured list to start Friday against the Yankees, Gordon Wittenmyer of NBC Sports Chicago reports.

Impact The left-hander missed the first month of the season with an elbow issue and made only three starts before heading back to the injured list with a shoulder strain, but he's poised to rejoin Chicago's rotation Friday. Miley didn't make any rehab starts this time around and hasn't pitched in a game since May 22, so he could face some workload limitations in his first game back from the injury.

Impact The Cubs haven't yet announced their rotation for their three-game series in New York, but Miley is eligible to return from the injured list Friday and will be in the mix to rejoin the rotation at Yankee Stadium. The southpaw has made three starts this season and has posted a 3.38 ERA and 1.19 WHIP in 16 innings.

Slated for another bullpen Miley (shoulder) will throw a bullpen session Sunday, Jordan Bastian of MLB.com reports.

Impact Sunday's throwing session will mark the second time Miley has thrown off a mound since landing on the injured list May 29, signaling that his shoulder strain doesn't seem to be a long-term concern. The southpaw apparently felt good following Thursday's bullpen session, and he'll likely progress to facing live hitters at next week as long as Sunday's bullpen goes smoothly.

Gets back on mound Miley (shoulder) was scheduled to throw a bullpen session earlier Thursday, Maddie Lee of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.

Impact The Cubs have yet to reveal how Miley felt coming out of the workout, but the fact that he isn't being shut down from throwing four days after landing on the injured list suggests that his strained left shoulder isn't a long-term concern. Chicago replaced Miley in the rotation with Matt Swarmer, who will pick up his second start in Saturday's doubleheader with the Cardinals after limiting the Brewers to four runs over six innings in his MLB debut Monday.

Goes back on IL The Cubs placed Miley on the 15-day injured list Sunday with a left shoulder strain, Maddie Lee of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.

Impact Miley won't be eligible to return from the IL until June 10 as a result of the shoulder strain, an injury the southpaw initially believed was a minor concern when he picked it up coming out of his most recent start May 22. The veteran made just three starts for the Cubs before succumbing to an injury that will send him to the shelf for the second time this season, after he previously opened the campaign on the IL while recovering from elbow inflammation. Chicago recalled Mark Leiter from Triple-A Iowa in a corresponding move, and he could be called upon to make a spot start when Miley's turn in the rotation comes up again in Monday's doubleheader with the Brewers.

Battling minor shoulder issue Miley is day-to-day with a minor shoulder issue but believes he'll be able to avoid the injured list, Meghan Montemurro of the Chicago Tribune reports.

Impact Miley doesn't seem to have an official diagnosis, as the veteran lefty referred to his injury as "a little something." He felt better Saturday after playing catch, but whether or not the Cubs share his optimism about avoiding the injured list is not yet clear. If he's available, he could be asked to start one half of Monday's doubleheader against Milwaukee.

Quality start in no-decision Miley didn't factor into the decision during Sunday's 5-4 win against the Diamondbacks, allowing three runs on six hits and two walks with three strikeouts in six innings.

Impact Miley was given an early three-run lead and cruised through the first five innings but ran into trouble by allowing four baserunners with two out in the sixth tie the game. The 35-year-old tossed a season-high 85 pitches but induced just five swinging strikes and he's now recorded 10 strikeouts in 16 total innings. After a poor outing on April 10, Miley has surrendered three runs in 13 innings over his last two starts and will look to keep rolling against the White Sox next weekend.

Cruises to first win Miley (1-0) pitched seven shutout innings to earn the win Monday against the Pirates. He allowed just a single hit while striking out six.

Impact Outside of a Michael Chavis single in the fifth inning, Miley was flawless in his second start of the season. The lefty allowed three runs across three innings in his 2022 debut Tuesday, so this was clearly a step in the right direction. Miley had been sidelined with an elbow injury and now appears to be fully healthy, going from 64 pitches in his first start to 83 on Monday, and he might have thrown more had the Cubs not been up 9-0 when he departed. The veteran will look to build on this promising performance in his next scheduled start Sunday against the Diamondbacks.
