Junis (hamstring) is initiating a throwing program this weekend, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.
The Grade 2 hamstring strain that sent him to the injured list June 11 was expected to keep Junis out 4-6 weeks. As Slusser notes, it seems encouraging that he is already throwing, given the severity of the strain. Perhaps he is trending closer to the short end of the initial timetable.
