Miley (shoulder) will begin a rehab assignment at High-A South Bend on Wednesday, Bob Nightengale of USA Today reports.

EDGE Analysis

Miley threw 28 pitches during a live BP session Monday and will return to game action to close out the week. The southpaw's minor-league appearance will come four days before the trade deadline, and it's possible that he'll be involved in trade talks if he feels good following the rehab start. Regardless of whether he's dealt, it's possible that the 35-year-old will be able to return to the majors sometime around mid-August.

Miley (shoulder) threw 28 pitches during his live BP session Monday, Meghan Montemurro of the Chicago Tribune reports.

EDGE Analysis

Miley tossed a 32-pitch bullpen session Friday, and he faced live hitters Monday with one up-down during the throwing session. The southpaw appears to be closing in on a rehab assignment, which would likely put him in line to rejoin the Cubs' rotation sometime around mid-August.

Miley (shoulder) threw a 32-pitch bullpen session Friday, Meghan Montemurro of the Chicago Tribune reports.

EDGE Analysis

Miley resumed throwing in late June and has now progressed to mound work. However, he'll need some time to build back up prior to rejoining the Cubs' rotation. Since the 35-year-old has been on the injured list since June 11, he'll likely require a rehab assignment before returning from the injured list. As a result, it seems unlikely that he'll return to the majors until sometime in mid-August at the earliest.

Miley (shoulder) played light catch Thursday, Meghan Montemurro of the Chicago Tribune reports.

EDGE Analysis

This is at least the second time that Miley has thrown since being placed on the injured list June 11. However, he still needs to ramp up his intensity and will likely require at least a short rehab assignment. Given that, he almost certainly will not be back prior to the All-Star break and early August could be a more realistic target.

Miley (shoulder) played catch Tuesday, Jordan Bastian of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

He was placed on the injured list June 11 with a shoulder strain. Miley is further behind in his throwing progression than Marcus Stroman (shoulder) or Drew Smyly (oblique), as he has not yet advanced to bullpen sessions or live batting practice.

Miley was placed on the 15-day injured list Saturday with a left shoulder strain, Sahadev Sharma of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Miley dealt with a shoulder injury earlier this year as well and has only made four starts for the Cubs in 2022. He has a 2.84 ERA, 1.21 WHIP and 12 strikeouts in 19 innings and should be considered out indefinitely.

Miley (shoulder) will be re-examined Monday, Meghan Montemurro of the Chicago Tribune reports.

EDGE Analysis

Miley exited Friday's game against the Yankees after three innings due to left shoulder soreness after he spent time on the injured list with a similar issue prior to the matchup. The southpaw said after the game that he didn't want to predict whether he'd require another IL stint, but more information will likely be known after he's re-examined Monday. If he's cleared to make his next start, he tentatively lines up to take the mound at home against the Padres on Wednesday.

Miley was removed from Friday's game against the Yankees prior to the bottom of the fourth inning due to left shoulder soreness, Meghan Montemurro of the Chicago Tribune reports.

EDGE Analysis

Miley was effective early in Friday's matchup, allowing three hits and a walk while striking out two in three scoreless innings. He threw 30 of his 42 pitches for strikes but was removed from the game after he was visited by a trainer while warming up in the middle of the fourth inning. The southpaw was activated from the injured list prior to Friday's start after missing nearly three weeks with a left shoulder strain, so it's concerning to see the issue pop up during his return to the mound. It's not yet clear whether Miley will require another trip to the injured list.

Miley (shoulder) was activated from the 15-day injured list ahead of his start against the Yankees on Friday, Gordon Wittenmyer of NBC Sports Chicago reports.

EDGE Analysis

Miley was sidelined for nearly three weeks with a strained left shoulder, but he'll rejoin the rotation Friday without requiring a minor-league rehab assignment. Miley may face some workload restrictions since he hasn't seen game action since May 22.

Miley (shoulder) will be activated off the 15-day injured list to start Friday against the Yankees, Gordon Wittenmyer of NBC Sports Chicago reports.

EDGE Analysis

The left-hander missed the first month of the season with an elbow issue and made only three starts before heading back to the injured list with a shoulder strain, but he's poised to rejoin Chicago's rotation Friday. Miley didn't make any rehab starts this time around and hasn't pitched in a game since May 22, so he could face some workload limitations in his first game back from the injury.
