1. We don't know if he's ever going to come up.
2. If he does, it won't be until after six outings or so in Iowa. Just one so far, last night.

I think the Cubs will replace Atkins with a new reliever by Friday, and wouldn't be surprised to see Shark sent down for Stevens soon. The only reason I think Shark stayed up is because Stevens is a 2 innings maximum pitcher, whereas Shark can go more than that if needed. I disagree with the decision, just saying why they probably did.

I had read that he'd be up at the end of this week or early next week, barring a trade I would assume.

This is where I saw what I said but it's Paul Sullivan so it could easily be inaccurate, but yeah he'd have to be called up within 2 weeks from now at least if we want to keep him:
<!--quoteo-->QUOTE <!--quotec-->Left-handed reliever B.J. Ryan began his rehab stint at Triple-A Iowa on Tuesday night, giving up no runs and walking one batter in the seventh inning. <b>He's expected to have around six outings before the Cubs decide whether to call him up. According to Ryan's contract, the Cubs must call him up in 15 days from his first appearance or release him so he can sign elsewhere.</b><!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
