BALTIMORE — Alec Mills’ rehab process had him building up for a starter’s workload.
But for now, the right-hander is back in the Chicago Cubs bullpen. The Cubs activated Mills from the 60-day injured list before Tuesday’s series opener against the Baltimore Orioles at Camden Yards. Right-hander Anderson Espinoza was optioned to Double-A Tennessee.
Manager David Ross called Mills a “Swiss Army knife” who could be used in a variety of roles out of the bullpen.
