"Palencia, who has been out since April 12 with a mild lat strain, will presumably get into the I-Cubs game today, and then they'll see how he feels tomorrow."
"His ability to pitch well, with clean mechanics, is obviously very important. But you also want to make sure... that he's able to recover well (normally) the next day."
"If it does go well and he feels normal tomorrow, I'd tentatively expect him to be back with the big league team as soon as Monday."
Daniel Palencia, recovering from a mild lat strain since April 12, is pitching with the Iowa Cubs today. His performance will be evaluated to ensure he can handle back-to-back appearances as a late-inning reliever. If he pitches well and feels normal the next day, he may return to the big league team as soon as Monday for a series against the Reds. The focus is on his mechanics and recovery to ensure he is ready for competitive play.
