Mild is still probably approaching a month?

I'd give Flexen this next start against the Mets and then I'm hoping Cade Horton fills in.   You could easily line it up to go

vs. White Sox

@ Marlins

vs. Rockies

Pretty much couldn't draw up a softer landing

Cubs medical staff says it's mild? See you in July, Shota.

You’re being pretty optimistic.

FWIW Justin Steele's hamstring strain last year was also called a mild Grade 1 strain and he was out 39 days, so roughly 5.5 weeks.

Obviously every injury is different and everyone heals differently but 39 days from the date of injury would have him returning June 11.

I'm hopeful Steele represents an upper bound, the organization talking about those two had different tenor, and Steele definitely had a more significant reaction to the injury(though it's possible Shota is more stoic with those I guess).
