Back in action Wiggins (elbow) was activated from the 7-day injured list Friday.

He posted a 2.89 ERA and 1.18 WHIP with nine strikeouts in 9.1 innings over four appearances. It didn't take long for Wiggins to see action at Triple-A Iowa, as he gave up three runs on three hits and three walks while fanning four over 2.2 innings Friday against Saint Paul.

Impact One of the Cubs' top pitching prospects, Wiggins made just two starts for Triple-A Iowa this season before landing on the shelf April 15 due to right elbow inflammation.

Impact Counsell downplayed concern about the injury, noting that the 24-year-old righty should require "just a little time down" before he returns from the shelf.

Dealing with sore arm Wiggins is dealing with a sore arm at Triple-A Iowa, Bruce Levine of 670TheScore.com reports.

Impact The 24-year-old has made a pair of starts but has only thrown eight innings and is being piggybacked in his starts to help with the arm soreness. Across eight innings, Wiggins has a 5.63 ERA and 10:5 K:BB. He could be a candidate to make his major-league debut at some point this season.

Sent to minor-league camp The Cubs optioned Wiggins to minor-league camp Sunday.

Impact Wiggins got a taste of MLB action during spring training, but he's not on the 40-man roster and only has three career games at the Triple-A level, so a return to the minors always seemed likely. The 24-year-old is Chicago's top pitching prospect, and a strong season for him at Triple-A Iowa could force the Cubs to open up a 40-man spot at some point later in the year. Wiggins could be a fantasy force as soon as he arrives in the majors, though he may experience the typical growing pains that many young pitchers endure.

Bounces back Wednesday Wiggins tossed two scoreless innings in Wednesday's Cactus League game against the Brewers. He allowed one walk and struck out two.

Impact Wiggins was much sharper than in his first spring appearance last Thursday, when he allowed five runs on six hits across just 1.1 innings of work. The 24-year-old is Chicago's top pitching prospect, and he could be in the mix for his MLB debut at some point this year, but that likely won't happen right away, particularly because the young righty isn't on Chicago's 40-man roster. Wiggins should instead get some extended run for Triple-A Iowa after making only three starts at the level last season.
