Mikolas (forearm) will make at least one more rehab start, Katie Woo of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Mikolas has already made four rehab appearances, but his last one went so poorly that it's no surprise he'll require one more. In 5.2 innings for Double-A Springfield on Sunday, he allowed seven runs on 11 hits, three of which cleared the fence. While that was a worryingly poor performance, he doesn't appear to have suffered any setbacks, so he should get back into game action soon.

Mikolas (forearm) allowed an earned run on four hits and a walk over 4.2 innings in Double-A Springfield's win over Tulsa on Tuesday. He struck out three.
EDGE Analysis
The right-hander bumped his pitch count up to 67 in what was his third straight encouraging rehab start. Assuming Mikolas' previously ailing forearm tolerates the increase in activity level well over the next several days, the veteran's next start could come with the big-league club this weekend.

Mikolas (forearm) is scheduled to make his third rehab start Tuesday with Double-A Springfield.
EDGE Analysis
The first two starts of Mikolas' latest rehab assignment came at Triple-A Memphis, but he'll drop down a level Tuesday, presumably for schedule-related reasons. After tossing four scoreless innings and 58 pitches in his most recent outing with Memphis last Thursday, Mikolas should push his pitch count closer to the 70-to-75 range in his third rehab start. If Mikolas isn't experienced any renewed pain in his right forearm following the start, he could be activated from the 60-day injured list and step back into the St. Louis rotation as soon as Sunday.

Mikolas (forearm) fired four scoreless innings during Triple-A Memphis' win over Gwinnett on Thursday, allowing three hits and a walk while recording two strikeouts.
EDGE Analysis
Mikolas worked up to 58 pitches, 36 which he threw for strikes, after throwing about 45 between his first rehab start and a post-outing bullpen session with the Redbirds on Saturday. Now sporting an unblemished ERA over seven rehab frames, Mikolas will look to keep that streak going and likely boost his pitch count to the 65-to-70 range in his next start with Memphis.

Mikolas (forearm) will make his next rehab start for Triple-A Memphis on Thursday, the team's official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
The recovering right-hander encouragingly threw three perfect innings against Louisville on Saturday, working up to 29 pitches in the game and then getting in approximately 15 more throws on the bullpen mound. Mikolas is projected for anywhere from two to four rehab appearances before a potential mid-August activation.

Mikolas (forearm) started and threw three perfect innings in Triple-A Memphis' win over Louisville on Saturday.
EDGE Analysis
The recovering right-hander's first taste of game action since his only 2021 big-league start May 22 went off without a hitch. Mikolas logged 29 offerings overall, and he'll presumably look to build up to the 35-to-40-pitch range in his next turn with the Redbirds.

Mikolas (forearm) will begin a rehab assignment Saturday with Triple-A Memphis, Jeff Jones of the Belleville News-Democrat reports.
EDGE Analysis
The right-hander threw 60 pitches of live batting practice Tuesday, which was the final step in his rehab before pitching in minor-league games. Mikolas has been on the shelf since late May while recovering from the forearm injury, and he's expected to make a handful of starts for Memphis while building up for his potential activation in mid-August.

Mikolas (forearm) threw 60 pitches of live batting practice Tuesday, Jeff Jones of the Belleville News-Democrat reports.
EDGE Analysis
The righty also threw 30 warmup pitches, so he threw roughly 90 in total. Mikolas said he focused more on recapturing the feel for his pitches rather than throwing with full intensity. Assuming he recovers well in the next couple days, Mikolas should be ready to start a lengthy rehab assignment.

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.

Mikolas (forearm) will throw one more bullpen session before heading out on a rehab assignment, Katie Woo of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Mikolas has made just a single start this season, as he returned from a shoulder injury in late May only to be immediately shut down with forearm tightness. He's trending in the right direction, though his long absence means he'll likely need a fairly lengthy rehab assignment before returning to the big leagues.
