NEW YORK -- Chicago Cubs left-hander Wade Miley, making his first appearance since May 22, left Friday's start against the New York Yankees after just three innings due to soreness in his left shoulder.
Miley, 35, was activated from the injured list before the game. He had been out since experiencing a left shoulder strain late last month.
Miley allowed no runs on three hits and struck out two before being replaced by reliever Daniel Norris to start the fourth.
His return was part of a series of roster moves by the Cubs in advance of Friday's game, including placing righty Marcus Stroman on the injured list due to right shoulder inflammation.
