Multiple MLB Pitchers Throw Bullpens in Injury Comebacks

Several MLB pitchers are progressing in their rehabilitation and preparing for potential returns to play. Blue Jays' Nick Sandlin, sidelined since April 20 with a strained right lat, is throwing bullpen sessions at the team's Florida complex and is expected to be at least a week from activation. Max Scherzer, also with the Blue Jays, is recovering from right thumb inflammation and plans bullpen sessions that could lead to facing live hitters soon. Marcus Stroman of the Yankees, dealing with left knee inflammation, has thrown a side session and is scheduled for a bullpen session, with a possible return by the end of May. Justin Verlander is set to throw his first bullpen session since being placed on the injured list earlier this week, potentially targeting a return in early June. These developments highlight ongoing recovery efforts for key starters across MLB teams.
