Monday is an important day for a couple of Cactus League hurlers who are hoping to be ready for Opening Day with the Milwaukee Brewers. Jimmy Nelson is scheduled to make his first appearance of the spring, which will be his first time facing hitters in an actual game setting since blowing out his shoulder in September 2017. In addition to Nelson getting on the mound with the Cactus Crew, Jeremy Jeffress will begin playing catch after backing off his throwing regimen last week to focus on strengthening his shoulder.
Jeremy Jeffress says his shoulder strengthening program has been going well so far, and that he'll return to playing catch tomorrow.
