PEORIA, Ariz. — Ryon Healy has moved one step closer in his recovery and return from hand surgery. The big first baseman will get on the field for the first time and participate in a workout since having a bone spur removed from his hand on Feb. 14. The plan is for Healy to take ground balls, do a few other defensive drills and run the bases. He won’t be allowed to throw the baseball. And he’s still a week or two away from swinging a bat.
Is he excited for the abbreviated workout?
“You betcha!,” Healy exclaimed.
