Smyly (oblique) said he felt good after completing a bullpen session Tuesday, Taylor McGregor of Marquee Sports Network reports.

EDGE Analysis

The Cubs will likely have Smyly throw at least one more side session before having him face hitters in live batting practice or a simulated game. Smyly has been on the 15-day injured list since June 1 with a right oblique strain and will likely require a minor-league rehab assignment prior to being activated.
