CLEVELAND -- Cleveland Guardians starter Triston McKenzie is set to resume a throwing program after making progress in his recovery from a shoulder strain.
The team said Monday that McKenzie, who has been sidelined to start the season with a strained teres major muscle, was checked by Dr. Jason Genin on Sunday. The right-hander was cleared to throw with a weighted ball.
As long as he doesn't have any issues, McKenzie can begin throwing in a few days. Once he's re-evaluated the Guardians will have a better sense of when he can pitch in games again.
