Shaking off the rust: Wade Miley's 2022 debut plagued by walks in Cubs' loss to Padres Miley allowed three runs in three innings against the Padres on Tuesday.

MAY 11, 2022 • SUNTIMES.COM

Struggles in 2022 debut Miley didn't factor into the decision during Tuesday's 5-4 loss to San Diego, allowing three runs on five hits and five walks with one strikeout in three innings.

Impact After being sidelined for the first month of the season with an elbow injury, Miley pitched poorly from the start. He surrendered five baserunners and two runs in the first then three baserunners and one run in the third, with all of the damage coming with two outs in both innings. The 35-year-old found the zone with only 37 of 64 pitches and induced just four swinging strikes. Miley will look to rebound with his next start likely to come against Pittsburgh next week.

Activated for Tuesday's start Miley (elbow) was activated from the 10-day injured list and will start Tuesday in San Diego.

Impact The veteran left-hander has been unavailable for the first month of 2022 while recovering from elbow inflammation, but he'll make his season debut Tuesday. Miley covered four scoreless frames during his lone rehab outing with Triple-A Iowa and figures to face some workload limitations in his first start of the campaign.

Strong first rehab start Miley (elbow) will throw a bullpen session in the coming days and the next step is to be determined, Jordan Bastian of MLB.com reports.

Impact He threw four shutout innings while allowing two hits and zero walks with three strikeouts Thursday at Triple-A, so it would seem things are progressing in the right direction. Miley could be nearing a return to the big-league rotation, or he could make another rehab start.

Rehab start set for Thursday Miley (elbow) is scheduled to begin a minor-league rehab assignment Thursday, Paul Sullivan of the Chicago Tribune reports.

Impact The Cubs have yet to announce which affiliate Miley will join, but he's been given the green light to pitch in a game after his left elbow checked out fine following Sunday's bullpen session and Tuesday's light catch session. Because he was sidelined for much of spring training with a neck issue before the elbow problem cropped up in early April, Miley will likely need at least two or three starts in the minors before he's deemed ready to return from the 10-day injured list.

Bullpen scheduled for Friday Miley (elbow) will throw a bullpen session Friday, Andy Martinez of Marquee Sports Network reports.

Impact Miley threw his second bullpen session Tuesday, and it apparently went well since he'll throw off a mound once again late in the week. He tossed around 25-to-30 pitches during his first bullpen session, so he'll require time to build up before he's in the mix to return to major-league games.

Cubs place RHP Alec Mills on 10-day IL with back injury

The Chicago Cubs have placed right-hander Alec Mills, left-hander Wade Miley and shortstop Andrelton Simmons on the 10-day injured list

APRIL 7, 2022 • ASSOCIATED PRESS

Moved to IL The Cubs placed Miley (elbow) on the 10-day injured list Thursday, Maddie Lee of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.

Impact He'll open the season on the IL along with Alec Mills (back) and Adbert Alzolay (lat), with the their absences clearing the way for Justin Steele, Keegan Thompson and the newly-signed Drew Smyly to capture spots in the Cubs' rotation coming out of spring training. Miley was shut down last week due to his inflamed left elbow and is expected to be re-evaluated in the coming days, but he appears likely to miss more than the minimum 10 days.

The implications of Chicago Cubs lefty Wade Miley and shortstop Andrelton Simmons not being ready for opening day The Chicago Cubs' opening-day roster gained some clarity with left-hander Wade Miley's and shortstop Andrelton Simmons' injuries.

Shut down for 10 days Miley has been shut down for 10 days due to left elbow inflammation, Meghan Montemurro of the Chicago Tribune reports.

Impact Miley was delayed to start camp, but the Cubs claimed that wasn't due to an injury but rather due to the team's program for veterans. As it turns out, he's dealing with an injury after all, as an MRI revealed inflammation after he complained of elbow soreness. He's expected to resume throwing once his 10-day shutdown period is over, but he'll still have to finish his spring build-up at that point, so he'll miss multiple weeks to begin the season even if he avoids further setbacks.

First start could be delayed Miley (neck) could be skipped in the Cubs' rotation to begin the season, potentially not making his debut until April 16 at Colorado, Jordan Bastian of MLB.com reports.

Impact Miley profiles as the team's No. 3 starter as the season moves along, but he could operate as the fifth starter in the early going due to his delayed start to camp. That could mean the veteran sticks in Arizona to get in some extra work while his teammates head to Chicago for the first series of the year, where a No. 5 pitcher won't be needed. The 35-year-old would then join up with them for the first road trip. This would allow Miley extra time to ramp up before potentially starting April 16 at Coors Field.
