• Endy Rodriguez has right elbow inflammation. Had a PRP injection and will be going four weeks without throwing and it will likely be eight weeks before he’s back. He can’t swing a bat for at least three weeks, and can only swing from the left side when he is allowed to swing again.
• On Enmanuel Valdez: “He’s about one month or four weeks post-op. Continues to work on range of motion. He’s down with our rehab group in Bradenton, being very diligent with his rehab, as well.”
• Tim Mayza and Justin Lawrence started throwing last week. Played catch at 75 feet today.
• Colin Holderman threw a bullpen earlier this week. The goal is to throw live BP before the end of this week.
• Jared Jones is “dominating” the early phases in recovering from Tommy John surgery.
• Johan Oviedo has thrown one sim game. He’s doing “very well.” Not quite throwing full velo just yet, but trending in the right direction.
• Dauri Moreta is healthy. A “normal, bullpen arm” in Class AAA.
