Mikolas (forearm) is set to throw live batting practice Wednesday, after which he's expected to embark on a rehab assignment, the Associated Press reports.

EDGE Analysis

The right-hander is finally on the precipice of getting back into game action after an extended layoff; he's thrown just four innings in 2020 and 2021 combined, all of which came this year. Mikolas is likely in for a fairly extensive rehab assignment at what might be multiple affiliates before he's activated.
