There's no immediate timetable set for Gallardo's return to the Orioles, but he's getting close to when he can start playing catch again.
It's been more than two weeks now since Yovani Gallardo landed on the disabled list with what the Orioles called right shoulder bicep tendinitis. In that time, he has not even picked up a ball, although that will change on Saturday when he has his first session of catch.
Gallardo told Orioles reporters before Monday's game in Minnesota that he will have a couple of sessions with shoulder strengthening exercises on Tuesday and Thursday before his scheduled Saturday throwing.
