Civale (hamstring) will start Thursday's game in Pittsburgh, Todd Rosiak of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.
EDGE Analysis
Civale is slated to throw 75-to-85 pitches in what will be his first start for Milwaukee since he went down with a strained left hamstring in late March. The veteran hurler made two rehab starts with Triple-A Nashville, tossing nine scoreless innings with a 5:2 K:BB. Carlos Rodriguez is expected to follow Civale on Thursday.

Civale (hamstring) didn't make his rehab start at Triple-A Nashville on Wednesday as originally scheduled, Curt Hogg of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.
EDGE Analysis
The Brewers haven't officially named a starter for Thursday's game in Pittsburgh, so the decision to scratch Civale from his minor-league start could indicate that the 29-year-old righty will be activated early to pitch against the Pirates. If he ends up starting Thursday, Civale would presumably operate under a workload restriction, as he built up to just 60 pitches during his last rehab outing.

Civale (hamstring) is scheduled to make the third start of his rehab assignment Tuesday with Triple-A Nashville, MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Civale has looked sharp in both of his first two rehab outings with Nashville and looked to be a candidate to return from the 15-day injured list this week after tossing five scoreless frames and 60 pitches in his most recent Triple-A start last Wednesday. The Brewers ultimately decided to have Civale get stretched out a little more at Triple-A, but if Tuesday's start goes smoothly, he should rejoin the big club early next week. Civale was healthy heading into Opening Day but made just one start before landing on the IL on March 31 due to a left hamstring strain.

Civale (hamstring) tossed five shutout innings in his second rehab start with Triple-A Nashville on Wednesday, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Civale allowed two hits, walked one and struck out two while getting his pitch count up to 60. Brewers manager Pat Murphy said the team will get together and make a decision on whether Civale will make another rehab start or rejoin the big-league rotation next week. The veteran righty has been out since late March with a strained left hamstring.

Civale (hamstring) allowed one hit and one walk over four scoreless innings in his first rehab start with Triple-A Nashville on Thursday.
EDGE Analysis
Civale threw 50 pitches as he cruised through his four frames. He will need at least one more rehab start as he continues to get stretched out, but the performance was a positive step for the veteran hurler. Civale has been shelved since late March with a strained left hamstring.

Civale (hamstring) will begin a rehab assignment with Triple-A Nashville on Thursday, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Civale suffered a setback with his left hamstring strain in early April that delayed his recovery, but he's progressed well enough since then to be cleared to pitch in games. He'll be pitching Thursday for the first time in more than six weeks, so the right-hander will likely require at least a couple rehab starts before returning from the 15-day injured list.

Civale suffered a setback in his recovery from a left hamstring strain this week, Sophia Minnaert of FanDuel Sports Network Wisconsin reports.
EDGE Analysis
Civale has been on the IL since the end of March due to his hamstring, and there's currently no telling how much of an effect his setback will have on his recovery timeline. He'll presumably undergo imaging to determine the extent of the damage, and the team will determine his next steps once the results come back.

Civale (hamstring) is scheduled to throw a bullpen session Saturday, MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
If that goes well, he will throw off the mound again April 8. It seems likely that the Brewers will want Civale to make at least one rehab start, and the team is tentatively projecting a return in late April for the veteran right-hander.

Civale (hamstring) played catch Tuesday, Sophia Minnaert of FanDuel Sports Network Wisconsin reports.
EDGE Analysis
It's still unclear if Civale will be able to rejoin the active roster when eligible April 15, but the fact he's already resumed throwing a day after being diagnosed with a hamstring strain is an encouraging sign for a Brewers squad that is extremely thin on starters. A return timeline may begin to emerge once the 29-year-old is cleared for mound work.

The Brewers placed Civale on the 15-day injured list Monday with a strained left hamstring, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Civale was pulled from Sunday's start against the Yankees after three innings due to what the team referred to as a hamstring cramp, but evidently testing revealed a strain. He will be eligible to return in mid-April but it's uncertain whether he'll be ready to return at that time. The Brewers are dealing with numerous pitching injuries and it's unclear who might take Civale's spot in the rotation.
