Marlins president of baseball operations Michael Hill said Monday that Brigham (biceps) has advanced to throwing off a mound in recent weeks, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.
Brigham was unable to do any throwing in spring training while contending with a right biceps injury, but MLB's nearly four-month shutdown has provided him with extra time to recover without having to miss games. However, since he hasn't had the opportunity to step in against hitters in live batting practice or simulated games, Brigham will likely enter the Marlins' "summer camp" this week behind his fellow pitchers in the buildup process for the 60-game regular season. He'll still have around three weeks before Opening Day to fully move past the injury, so Brigham has a chance to be ready to go.
