SAN FRANCISCO -- Padres southpaw Robbie Erlin has temporarily backed off his throwing program in his recovery from a left elbow strain that landed him on the disabled list earlier this month.
Manager Andy Green said Erlin didn't feel as comfortable as he would have liked when he played catch on Sunday. Erlin will resume throwing at some point this weekend in Los Angeles, and if the problem persists, he could potentially be sent for a test.
"He was still feeling no pain in there, but it wasn't quite as free as he wanted it to be," Green said.
