ATLANTA – Cubs pitcher Alec Mills will not make a rehab start this week in Triple-A Iowa as originally planned.
The right-hander experienced right quad tightness while working out, according to the team, so the Cubs are taking a cautious approach to his recovery and shutting him down for a few days. After that point, they will determine next steps.
Mills will not necessarily jump right back into a rehab start and could need a bullpen before returning to game action.
Mills began the season on the injured list with a low back strain.
