Didi Gregorius takes key step forward in Tommy John rehab

TAMPA — They were hardly the strong throws Didi Gregorius is accustomed to making, but the shortstop — rehabbing from offseason Tommy John surgery — made some light tosses across the diamond on Monday at the team’s minor league facility.

The beginning of a throwing program was another step in Gregorius’ comeback from the injury he suffered during Game 2 of the ALDS against the Red Sox.

“Light throwing started [Monday],’’ said Gregorius, who added he made 25 throws from 60 feet.

He reiterated there is no timetable for his return.

“It’s still a waiting game for me,’’ Gregorius said.
