Righthander Miles Mikolas (forearm flexor problem) said he expected to throw one more extended session at Busch Stadium, probably on Tuesday, before beginning a medical rehabilitation option next weekend that could last up to 20 days. Mikolas said that would involve him going to affiliates within driving range, which covers Memphis, Springfield and even Class A Peoria but not Jupiter, where Mikolas lives.
“I don’t mind driving,” said Mikolas, who has pitched just once (four innings against Chicago) this season. “I’d rather drive than fly.”
But manager Mike Shildt said the club was “finalizing” a plan that might bypass another workout here before Mikolas goes to the minors.
