Miles Mikolas To Take The Mound On Saturday
4 years agoSt. Louis Cardinals starting pitcher Miles Mikolas (shoulder) will make his 2021 debut on Saturday against the Chicago Cubs. It will be the first major league appearance for Mikolas since the 2019 playoffs. He missed all of the shortened 2020 season and the first two months of this season with a mix of elbow and shoulder issues. He made it through the last few steps of his rehab just fine though, and is ready to hit the ground running. He threw 80 pitches while going six scoreless innings in his most recent rehab start, so another 80 or so pitches is a pretty good estimate for Mikolas on Saturday. He may take a few starts to get stretched out enough, but Mikolas is a solid rotation piece in mixed leagues when healthy.
