Rejoining rotation Thursday
Cubs manager Craig Counsell said Monday that Imanaga (hamstring) will rejoin the rotation Thursday in St. Louis, Maddie Lee of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.
Analysis
Counsell had already revealed that Imanaga's next start would come in the big leagues, and now the skipper has revealed the exact day. The southpaw has been shelved since early May with a strained left hamstring. Imanaga threw 72 pitches and went 4.1 innings in his final rehab outing, so he will have a somewhat restricted workload against the Cardinals.

Making next start in majors
Manager Craig Counsell said Saturday that Imanaga (hamstring) will return from the 15-day injured list to make his next start with the Cubs sometime next week, Vinnie Duber of AllCHGO.com reports.
Analysis
The skipper didn't say exactly what day Imanaga will return from the IL, but the 31-year-old southpaw will most likely start at some point during the Cubs' upcoming series in St. Louis. Imanaga didn't allow a run in 10.1 innings across three rehab outings in the rookie-level Arizona Complex League and at Triple-A Iowa. He most recently pitched Friday for Iowa, striking out eight batters over 4.1 shutout frames while building up to 72 pitches.
