Manager John Schneider provided updates on injured pitchers Berríos, García, and Yesavage. Berríos is set to throw bullpen sessions and live batting practice as he recovers from a stress fracture. García is gradually building up after elbow surgery and will need rehab games before returning. Yesavage is scheduled for a three-inning simulated game, progressing from previous limitations. The team is monitoring the timing of his rehab assignment due to minor-league season schedules.
"Schneider revealed that both Berríos and García are due to throw bullpen sessions at the player development complex in Dunedin, Fla., on Tuesday. Berríos is scheduled for a two-up side and will also toss live batting practice on Saturday."
"Berríos was built up to 65 pitches during the spring before being shut down due to a stress fracture, so he won't be starting from scratch as he resumes his starter's build-up."
"Yesavage is progressing to the next step in his throwing program and is scheduled to pitch a three-inning simulated game at the PDC on Friday, aiming for roughly 45 pitches."
"García's recovery is focused on gradually building him up after off-season elbow surgery, and he will need to pitch in at least a handful of rehab games before activation from the IL."
