Codi Heuer’s road back from Tommy John surgery continued with another rehab appearance for Triple-A Iowa on Saturday. According to Cubs manager David Ross, he threw “really well.” Over 1 1⁄3 innings, Heuer struck out two and allowed no hits or runs against the Nashville Sounds.
“Getting to the back end of his rehab,” Ross said before Sunday’s 8-5 loss to the Reds. “I think he still feels like he’s just a tick off and wants to lock in his mechanics and strike-throwing. Seems to be getting better every single day. When he’s comfortable and his date’s up, I’m sure we’ll see him at some point soon after he feels great.”
