Nick Pivetta - Could throw off mound soon Pivetta (forearm) has advanced to playing long toss and could soon begin throwing off a mound, per MLB.com. Impact Pivetta has been sidelined by a right flexor strain since mid-April. The right-handed hurler began a throwing program in late May, but he's yet to throw from a mound. With that big step potentially looming, it appears Pivetta is making tangible progress in his recovery. Nonetheless, he's not expected to return to San Diego's rotation until sometime after the All-Star break.
