Completes light bullpen session Pivetta (forearm) threw a light bullpen session Saturday, MLB.com reports.

Impact Pivetta likely didn't incorporate all of his pitchers or throw at full intensity, but the bullpen session is a step forward nonetheless as he works his way back from a flexor strain. The right-hander will need to complete multiple side sessions before advancing to facing hitters in live batting practice and eventually heading out on an extended rehab assignment. The Padres haven't pinpointed a target date for his return, but Pivetta's stay on the 60-day injured list will likely be extended through at least late July or early August.

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.

Increases throwing distance Pivetta (forearm) progressed to throwing from 90 feet with some intensity June 10, per MLB.com.

Impact Pivetta has been on the shelf due to a right flexor strain since mid-April. He resumed a throwing program by playing catch May 29 and has since ramped up his throwing distance and intensity, though he's yet to get back on a mound. Pivetta still has several obstacles to clear and isn't likely to return to the Padres' rotation until sometime after the All-Star break.

Shifts to 60-day IL The Padres transferred Pivetta (forearm) to the 60-day injured list Tuesday.

Impact The right-hander landed on the shelf in mid-April due to a flexor strain and isn't expected back anytime soon, so the move to the 60-day doesn't affect his return outlook. Pivetta recently returned to playing catch, but he still has a significant way to go in his throwing program before returning to game action.

MAY 31 • SI.COM

Begins throwing program Friday Pivetta (forearm) played catch Friday, Kevin Acee of The San Diego Union Tribune reports.

Impact Though Pivetta's throwing was on flat ground in the outfield at Nationals Park, it was still a significant step given that it was the first time he has played catch since landing on the injured list April 14. The veteran pitcher is expected to continue playing catch on flat ground for at least two weeks before a determination is made about his next steps. Acee reports that the Padres are being cautious with Pivetta as well as with fellow injured starter Joe Musgrove (elbow). It's quite possible that neither pitcher will be ready to return until after the All-Star break.
