Bray throws, Ross?

Bill Bray threw 25 pitched to hitters today. He threw all his pitches. Encouraging?

"Definitely, it felt good to throw off the mound to hitters again."

He'll have another session Sunday, upping the number of pitches.

I thought David Ross (back spasms) would be back by now. But Dusty Baker said it will be at three or four days before Ross starts swinging the bat again.

"He's making progress," Baker said. "But it two steps forward, one step back. They're trying to eliminate and alleviate it all together. (Back problems) are tough when you're trying to swing and catch."

I haven't talked to Ross today. He's getting treatment, of course, but this could be an issue.
