The Philadelphia Phillies are hosting the Boston Red Sox at Spectrum Field Saturday, but the biggest development regarding the team’s 2020 season may have happened earlier in the day.

Reliever Victor Arano completed a live batting practice session Saturday morning, with Matt Breen of The Philadelphia Inquirer noting that “he felt good this morning after throwing live batting practice and is optimistic that he’ll be ready for Opening Day.” Breen added that Arano is likely to toss another live batting practice before getting a chance to pitch in live game action.
