Westbrook starts throwing

On Thursday back at Progressive Field, Jake Westbrook started throwing his first bullpen session since going on the DL.

If you remember, Borowski threw one at Yankees stadium on the same day, and they are both on a similar schedule in terms of returning. Borowski is a little ahead though in terms of returning.

Westbrook has been inactive for a few weeks and because hes a starter will need a few more sessions and rehab games before he is ready.

Right now the only thing scheduled is a 50 pitch session this weekend.

No rush though.. Aaron Laffey has filled in admirably. He is 0-2 but his ERA is under 3.00 and he looks to make it even lower today against Toronto.
