Rockies' Jairo Diaz: Hopes to return in May

Diaz (elbow) is on pace for a return sometime in May, Patrick Saunders of the Denver Post reports.

Analysis:

The young fireballer has been steadily progressing through a throwing regimen over the winter, and now that he's present at Rockies camp, a timetable for his return has finally been revealed. This is a very rough estimation, but it's a good sign bullpen coach Darren Holmes stated that Diaz "looks healthy" and expects the hurler to "come back really strong". The exact date of his 2017 debut should become clearer as he continues on in his Tommy John rehab program.
