4 is probably a best case scenario. I don't see it happening until 2023.
2019: Out
2020: Out for most of it and when he comes back he will have a very limited workload before the season ends. A Ball
2021: If 2020 went well, he will go to A+. Will probably throw 120-ish innings before being shut down maybe in AA.
2022: If 2021 went well, he will go to AA. Will hopefully throw 160-ish innings, and finish the season in AAA.
2023: Will start the season in AAA for service time reasons (assuming that's still a thing after the next CBA) before coming up to the majors.
That's a timelime assuming that he has 0 setbacks, 0 injuries, and everything goes well. Keep in mind he had a 4.48 ERA in A Ball, while going about 3.2 IP per start and two separate UCL tears in two seasons.

Meanwhile if they move him back to SS, he is ready for Spring Training 2020. Also his advancement through the minors isn't limited by inning counts, but by his performance. Not to mention much much less risk for injury setbacks.
