CHICAGO -- The Chicago Cubs will decide on the next step for Shota Imanaga after he makes a rehab start for Triple-A Iowa on Friday.
Imanaga is coming back from a left hamstring strain. The left-hander is 3-2 with a 2.82 ERA in eight starts for the Cubs this season.
The 31-year-old Imanaga got hurt during the sixth inning of a 4-0 loss at Milwaukee on May 4.
"We just want to evaluate Friday's start and go from there," Cubs manager Craig Counsell said Wednesday.
Imanaga pitched six scoreless innings over two rehab starts in the Arizona Complex League.
