Dodgers pitcher Kenley Jansen (foot) began playing catch from 60 feet Tuesday, MLB.com reports.
Jansen underwent surgery to remove a growth from a bone in his left foot in mid-February and has been throwing with his knee off a chair. However, he is now able to shed his crutches and able to progress in his rehab.
"I was able to land on the foot and there was no pain," Jansen said. "I just have to take is slowly. It's still healing, but I didn't feel anything wrong."
Jansen was projected to miss 8-12 weeks after undergoing the procedure, which would keep him out until at least the second half of April.
