PHOENIX -- Pitchers Patrick Corbin and David Hernandez each threw live batting practice sessions for the first time Tuesday afternoon in their respective returns from Tommy John surgery.
"I thought both of them threw the ball well," D-backs manager Chip Hale said. "The ball was coming out of their hand great."
Both pitchers threw 25 pitches and have been on a similar recovery path since their surgeries. Now, though, they will be on different tracks as Corbin will need to be stretched out as a starter. His recovery will take longer than Hernandez's, as a result.
