Patino (oblique) will resume playing catch Thursday, Neil Solondz of the Rays Radio Network reports.
Patino sustained an oblique strain in mid-April and was subsequently placed on the 60-day injured list, but he'll now be able to resume throwing following a two-week shutdown. The right-hander isn't eligible to return to the majors until at least mid-June, but a return timetable should come into focus as he progresses through a throwing program.
