Peter also updated us on Jeff Karstens as well as Phil Hughes. Karstens, who is recovering from a strained groin, threw three innings in an extended spring training game this weekend and is scheduled to go five innings on Wednesday. If there are no setbacks he will start a rehab assignment with Trenton or Scranton/WB. Hughes still can't throw a ball and is only doing some conditioning.Humberto Sanchez (Tommy John surgery): The big guy is throwing off a mound and is scheduled to get in a game around June 10. “I have no idea what my velocity is but the ball is coming out of my hand as good as ever and my breaking pitch and off-speed stuff is good,” he said. “I can’t wait to get with a team and get started.” Sanchez’s wife is due in two weeks, so that will take up some of his time. He is hopeful of getting to the majors in September but that could be a stretch.
Andrew Brackman (Tommy John surgery): He is only nine months removed from his surgery and is still in the process of rehabbing his arm by throwing fastballs off a mound. He will not pitch in any games this season.
