Rucker, 27, had not pitched in a game since the Cubs’ final Cactus League game on April 5. Managing his workload is a balancing act when going more than a week between facing live hitters. Rucker threw 10 pitches in the bullpen before Wednesday’s game to get in reps without taxing his arm. Dry work allows him to mentally prepare too.
