Shota Imanaga’s time on the injured list is nearing its end.
The Cubs’ lefty starting pitcher, who has been on the IL since May 5 with a strained hamstring, will make his next start with the big league team, manager Craig Counsell said Saturday, after he threw 4 1/3 scoreless innings in a rehab start with Triple-A Iowa on Friday night. He’ll join the Cubs on next week’s trip to St. Louis, where they play a four-game series with the rival Cardinals.
