Motte (shoulder) felt no pain in his ailing right shoulder after throwing a 25-pitch bullpen session Friday, Patrick Saunders of the Denver Post reports.

Analysis:

Motte is making steady progress in his return from a shoulder injury that occurred at the end of spring training. The right-hander will accompany the Rockies for the rest of their 10-game road trip, although he currently does not have a set timetable for a rehab assignment or return to the Colorado bullpen, which makes any estimate of his return date fairly cloudy at this point.
