Wade Miley Injury: Sent on rehab assignment

The Reds sent Miley to Double-A Chattanooga on Friday to begin a rehab assignment.

Miley has been rehabbing a flexor strain in his throwing arm since late June, and he's finally been cleared to pitch in games. It's unclear how many minor-league appearances he'll require before being activated, but an August return seems possible. Given the Reds' pitching depth, it's unclear where Miley will slot in once healthy, but Nick Martinez could be bumped back to the bullpen to make room in the rotation. Per Charlie Clifford of NBC 5 Cincinnati, Miley is slated to throw 40 pitches or two innings for Chattanooga on Friday.
