"The Cubs still want him to pass one more test before taking him off the injured list. Even if he feels good following that appearance, it's entirely likely that he won't be reinstated until Monday against the Reds."
"The Iowa Cubs are in St. Paul to take on the Saints, and Craig Counsell told reporters prior to Friday's game with the Diamondbacks that Palencia will pitch for the Triple-A affiliate."
"The Cubs surely won't want Palencia going on back-to-back days, so Sunday is probably the earliest he'd be back with them even if he feels great after Friday's rehab outing."
Daniel Palencia may be activated soon, but the Cubs want him to pass one more test before removing him from the injured list. He is set to pitch for the Iowa Cubs against the St. Paul Saints. Even if he performs well, he may not be reinstated until Monday against the Reds. The Cubs prefer not to have him pitch on consecutive days, making Sunday the earliest possible return date.
