Miley (shoulder) is expected to make a rehab start Friday for High-A South Bend.
Miley has been on the shelf since June 11 while dealing with a left shoulder strain, but Friday's start will bring him one step closer to a return. In four starts with the Cubs this season, the left-hander has produced a 2.84 ERA and 1.21 WHIP with 12 punchouts over 19 innings. If all goes well on his rehab assignment, Miley could potentially return to the big leagues at some point in mid-August.
