Wainwright (elbow) fired a scoreless first inning in High-A Palm Beach's win over Tampa on Monday, allowing a hit and recording two strikeouts.

EDGE Analysis

It was a strong start to Wainwright's rehab assignment, as he needed a quick nine pitches to get his three outs. The right-hander wasn't expected to struggle much with High-A bats, but it was nevertheless encouraging to see him record back-to-back strikeouts after allowing a leadoff single. Wainwright is slated for multiple minor-league appearances before activation.
