ALEC MILLS NEWS

Another rehab start on tap Mills (back) will make another rehab start at Triple-A Iowa on Tuesday, Maddie Lee of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.

Impact Mills has made three rehab starts during his current stint with the Triple-A club, and he's posted a 3.72 ERA and 1.24 WHIP in 9.2 innings. The right-hander is eligible to return from the 60-day injured list as early as Monday, but he'll have at least one more opportunity for a tune-up in the minors prior to rejoining the Cubs. Assuming he feels good following Tuesday's outing, it's possible that he'll be reinstated from the injured list as early as next weekend.

Another rehab start coming Friday Mills (back) will throw a three-inning rehab start Friday, Maddie Lee of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.

Impact He is expected to throw 55 pitches in this outing after throwing 43 pitches in 2.1 innings in his prior rehab start. Given that Mills is ineligible to be activated from the 60-day injured list until June 8, it seems likely that he will make at least one more rehab start after Friday's scheduled outing.

Completes rehab start Mills (back) began a rehab assignment at Triple-A Iowa on Sunday and tossed 2.1 innings in his start against Columbus. He worked 2.1 innings and gave up one run on two hits and a w...

Impact Mills pitched in a game for the first time since April 23, when he experienced quad tightness that resulted in him being pulled off his initial rehab assignment at Iowa for the ensuing month. He tossed 43 pitches (25 strikes) on Sunday, but he'll still likely need at least two more rehab start before the Cubs entertain bringing him back from the 60-day injured list. Before he was placed on the IL shortly before Opening Day, Mills looked to be in good position to claim a rotation spot for the Cubs, but he might have to settle for a long-relief role once he's formally activated.

Transferred to 60-day IL Mills (back) was transferred to the 60-day injured list Thursday, Tim Stebbins of NBC Sports Chicago reports.

Impact Mills was cleared to face hitters this weekend and threw a bullpen session Thursday, but he'll now be moved to the 60-man injured list to make room on the 40-man roster. The right-hander will likely require several rehab games before rejoining the Cardinals, so Thursday's transaction is unlikely to alter his recovery timetable.

Advancing to face live hitters Mills (back/quadriceps) is scheduled to throw live batting practice Sunday, Maddie Lee of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.

Impact The right-hander has been throwing bullpen sessions for the past week and will now progress to facing live batters. Mills has yet to see MLB action this season due to the back and quadriceps injuries, so he figures to require a multi-game rehab stint in the minors before joining the Cubs.
