Closer Steve Cishek threw a bullpen session on Monday and seems to be over some biceps soreness. Left-hander Charlie Furbush hopes to play catch on Tuesday after dealing with lingering tightness in his shoulder.
Steve Cishek threw a bullpen session of just over 20 pitches on Monday with pitching coach Mel Stottlemyre and bullpen coach Mike Hampton along with head athletic trainer Rick Griffin watching closely.
Why the crowd?
Cishek has been bothered by soreness in his biceps on his throwing arm. It’s not an uncommon issue for pitchers – particularly sidearm pitchers – in spring as they build up arm strength.
