Richard (hand) will not likely return to the Cubs until after the All-Star break July 15.

EDGE Analysis

Richard was placed on the 15-day DL on June 21 due to a blister on his hand. He has made three rehab appearances, including a 4.2 inning start Friday with Double-A Tennessee, allowing one earned run on three hits while striking out four. The 32-year-old should be ready to go by the time the All-Star break ends, and could make another rehab appearance in the meantime before rejoining the Cubs' bullpen.
