Cubs Put Hoby Milner on Waivers After Rehab Window Nears End
Chicago placed the left-handed reliever on waivers rather than returning him to the active roster, with his 30-day rehab limit approaching.
The Cubs placed left-hander Hoby Milner on waivers, a move initially reported as a DFA but later corrected by MLB.com's Mark Feinsand. Milner, 35, has been on the 15-day IL since June following an appendectomy and began a rehab assignment in late July. With the 30-day rehab limit for pitchers closing in, Chicago opted not to reinstate him. If claimed, the acquiring team takes on his remaining contract; if unclaimed, his roster status with the Cubs would be reassessed.
