Cory Luebke continues to make progress in his return from a second Tommy John surgery.

The 30-year-old left-hander pitched a perfect inning in Double-A San Antonio's 6-2 loss on Friday, throwing six of his 11 pitches for strikes in his third scoreless appearance in five games on this rehab assignment.
