PITTSBURGH — Cubs pitcher Wade Miley pointed to his left side as he walked off the field in the fifth inning of the Cubs’ 6-0 loss to the Pirates on Saturday. The team later announced he had exited with a tight left oblique.
“I’ve torn my right one before,” Miley said, referring to an injury that sidelined him for two months in 2018. “I was stubborn the first time I did it. And I felt pretty much what I felt today on my right side, and then I tried to throw another pitch and just made it 10 weeks instead of two weeks. So I tried to do the smart thing here, and hopefully tomorrow it’ll feel a little better, and we’ll just see where it goes.”
