Contreras (hamstring) went 0-for-2 in his first rehab game Thursday for High-A Myrtle Beach, but the Carolina League playoffs are ending Friday due to Hurricane Irma, and the Cubs must decide another plan to get him at-bats, Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic reports.

The season has ended for all Cubs minor-league affiliates besides short-season Eugene, so the decision may be just to call up Contreras to the current 40-man major-league roster or send him to the Northwest League Finals, which begin a best-of-five series Saturday. Chicago faces the Brewers this weekend in an important playoff-relevant series, so having him aboard may be their most desired course.
