Miles Mikolas To Start Tuesday
1 year agoSt. Louis Cardinals right-hander Miles Mikolas is lined up to start on Tuesday against the visiting Minnesota Twins. It will be right-hander Jack Flaherty's turn in the starting rotation, but the sense internally is it's not fair to ask Flaherty to prepare to start given the possibility that he's traded at Tuesday's Aug. 1 trade deadline. Mikolas is appealing the five-game suspension that he received from the league for intentionally throwing at Ian Happ in his last start. The 34-year-old will be well-rested after throwing just 14 pitches before being ejected in his last start. He's gone 6-6 this year with a 4.38 ERA, 1.30 WHIP and 87 K's in 127 1/3 innings (23 starts). Mikolas finished the month of July with a 4.18 ERA (3.42 FIP), only three walks and 17 strikeouts in 28 innings over six starts.
