The 26-year-old right-hander was originally scheduled to make two appearances during his rehab assignment with Triple-A Iowa, but a third one ended up being necessary after he retired just two of the five batters he faced in his second outing on Monday.

"It's great to have him back," Cubs manager Joe Maddon said.
