Brilliant outing goes to waste Imanaga came away with a no-decision Friday as the Cubs fell 2-0 to the Pirates, striking out nine and walking one over six scoreless, no-hit innings.

Impact The southpaw was dominant, firing 68 strikes on 100 pitches while generating 30 called or swinging strikes, but Chicago's offense couldn't push any runs across against Carmen Mlodzinski. Once Imanaga left the mound, Pittsburgh immediately struck for two runs in the top of the seventh. Imanaga will take a 2.81 ERA, 0.81 WHIP and 20:4 K:BB through 16 innings into his next outing, which is set to come on the road next week in Philadelphia.

Will make rehab start this week Boyd (biceps) will make a rehab start in the next week, Bruce Levine of 670TheScore.com reports.

Impact The left-hander was placed on the 15-day IL earlier this week due to a left biceps strain, so it's a good sign he's ready to take the mound again in the near future. Boyd was having trouble bouncing back between starts. The extra rest appears to have been a positive for Boyd. He's eligible to be activated from the injured list next weekend during a home series against the Mets.

Will be eased back into lineup Manager Craig Counsell said Suzuki (knee) will not play every day initially after being activated from the 10-day injured list Friday, Bruce Levine of 670TheScore.com reports.

Impact Suzuki suffered a strained PCL in the World Baseball Classic nearly a month ago, and the Cubs want to make sure not to push him too hard in the early going in his return to action. The 30-year-old was as equally effective against both left- and right-handed pitching last season, so his off days will likely be sporadic until his knee gets closer to 100 percent.
