Cardinals righthander Miles Mikolas, beset by a flexor tendon issue in the spring, said after his workout Friday, “I feel good where I am right now. I’ll be ready when the season starts.”
But when that season does start on July 24, Mikolas will be doing it alone. His family, which includes three small children, including twins nearly two years old, will remain at the Mikolas family home in Jupiter, Fla., the Cardinals’ spring training site.
“With two young kids (that) were premature and maybe exposed to greater risk here and me maybe bringing it back to them (from the road), it made sense for them to just hunker down back there and for me to be here,” said Mikolas.
