Rockies pitcher Jordan Lyles continues to throw on the side, while recovering from a broken left (non-pitching) hand.
Lyles is scheduled to undergo a second follow-up X-ray next Wednesday, as the team continues to monitor his progress three weeks removed from the injury. He is scheduled for another examination two weeks from his second, with the expectation he can have his splint removed.
"We're going to stay ready, so when I get this thing [splint] off, the transition won't be too long," Lyles told MLB.com Wednesday.
Lyles will still need to strengthen the hand for fielding and hitting before he can return to game action, but his throwing arm won't need much time. He plans to begin throwing off a mound later this week.
