Matt Harrison (back) threw live batting practice Thursday.
Harrison, who is making his way back from spinal fusion surgery, threw three innings at about 15 pitches each. The next step calls for him to pitch in an extended spring training game next Wednesday. The Rangers could send him out on an official minor league rehab assignment from there. The southpaw has made just six appearances in the majors dating back to 2013, but he hopes to make his return at some point in June. May 7 - 4:37 PM
