CINCINNATI -- Sean Marshall was grabbing his glove to go on the field and throw on flat ground Wednesday. The Reds reliever is hoping that each throwing session is one step closer to pitching in games, something he hasn't done since June 10, 2014, because of shoulder injuries.
Marshall, who had his second left shoulder surgery on May 20 of this season to clean out scar tissue, has been throwing off of a mound in bullpen sessions every three days throughout this month. His next bullpen session -- expected either Thursday or Friday -- could determine if he gets to face hitters in a simulated setting.
