From what I understand they're looking at Sep 1st or 6th for him. The thought is the Cubs would finsh the year with a 6-man roation beginning the 1st or 6th.

I was told he hit 94mph, but not confirmed.

Looks like he topped out at 93.4.

His velo's not way down, but one of the encouraging things in April/May before he went on the IL is that his FB was averaging about 93, up from last year.  It's been down during his rehab, TBD if it comes back with big league adrenaline or if it'll take the offseason to get back there.
