Tom Koehler, one of the few additions made during this frugal winter by the Dodgers, threw his first bullpen session since straining a capsule in his right shoulder during spring training, but remained vague about when he might make his debut with the team.
The Dodgers have charted a cautious path with Koehler, a right-handed reliever whom the team felt could help replace Brandon Morrow in the bullpen. Koehler has been able to play catch up to a distance of 200 feet with intensity, he said. He threw 15 pitches off the mound on Monday before a game against the Philadelphia Phillies.
