MILWAUKEE -- Alex Reyes has waited 15 long months for this moment.
Once the St. Louis Cardinals' top prospect -- and the No. 3 prospect in all of baseball -- Reyes was destined to join the ranks of great home-grown pitches before blowing out his elbow and undergoing Tommy John surgery in 2016.
He'll return to the mound Wednesday afternoon when the Cardinals wrap up a three-game series with the National League Central-leading Brewers at Miller Park.
Called up for the first time in August 2016, Reyes appeared in 12 games for the Cardinals, going 4-1 with a 1.
