“Luke Weaver as well as Robbie Ray, who felt very good after his bullpen yesterday, will continue to throw another bullpen on Friday at Salt River Fields,” manager Torey Lovullo said Wednesday, adding that Weaver will throw at least one more bullpen before the team evaluates whether he could face live hitters.
“Most encouraged obviously by Robbie, who continues to keep plowing away. We’ve got to check that box on Friday. We talked about what some of the possibilities are beyond that yesterday. So we’re hoping that we hit those targets some time over the weekend.”
Ray and Weaver both threw bullpen sessions on Tuesday. Weaver has mild sprains to his flexor pronator and UCL in his right arm and hasn’t pitched since May 26, while Ray has been out with lower back spasms but pitched in a major league game just last week.
