Wade Miley expected to make rehab start Wednesday night for South Bend Cubs

SOUTH BEND, Ind. (WNDU) - Chicago Cubs pitcher Wade Miley is expected to pitch Wednesday night for the South Bend Cubs in a rehab start against the Lansing Lugnuts.

It will mark Miley’s second appearance for South Bend this season after making a rehab start at Four Winds Field back on July 29 as he continues to work back from a shoulder injury that has kept him off the mound at the big league level since June.

It will also mark another homecoming for the left-handed pitcher, who played for the South Bend Silver Hawks 13 years ago.

Meanwhile, the South Bend Cubs are closing in on clinching the Midwest League’s West Division for the second half of the season. The magic number for the Cubs is six, which includes any combination of six Cubs wins or six losses from the Beloit Sky Carp, who are currently in second place in the division.

First pitch at Four Winds Field is set for 7:05 p.m. To purchase tickets, click here.
