Nick Pivetta (elbow) has progressed to throwing bullpen sessions.
It’s the first substantive update regarding Pivetta’s progress since he landed on the shelf with a right elbow flexor strain back in mid-April. The 33-year-old strikeout artist will continue ramping up his throwing progression in the coming weeks and should be ready for a couple minor league rehab starts in August. It sounds like there’s a decent chance he makes it back to San Diego at some point in the second half.
