Soroka (shoulder) was cleared to resume throwing Tuesday, Mark Bowman of MLB.com reports.

Soroka was nearly ready to return from Achilles surgery when he was shut down with a shoulder issue in early April. He's now ready to start playing catch again, but he'll essentially have to go through an entire spring training buildup program before returning to game action. He's unlikely to pitch in a major-league game until the second half of June.
