FORT MYERS, Fla. -- Twins left fielder Eddie Rosario, who has been out since March 4 with right triceps tendinitis, began his throwing program on Wednesday, and he is slated to return to the lineup as a designated hitter against the Rays on Thursday.
Rosario was shut down from throwing after feeling soreness in his upper arm while playing left field on March 4. But with rest, the inflammation has subsided, and Rosario threw 20 sets from 60 feet before Wednesday's game against the Red Sox, but there's still no exact timetable for when he'll return to the outfield.
