MILWAUKEE -- Yu Darvish, on the disabled list with right triceps tendinitis, threw his first bullpen session since May 26, and the pitcher and the Cubs were encouraged by Tuesday's workout at Miller Park.
"Today was a big day," Cubs president of baseball operations Theo Epstein said. "He let it go and felt really good. That's usually a good sign of what's going to happen next."
Epstein and manager Joe Maddon watched the 30-pitch session by Darvish, whose last start was May 20. He had thrown one bullpen session after that, when he felt soreness in his right arm.
