Marlins' Jeff Locke: Throws lightly Thursday
Locke (biceps) threw 15-20 light tosses from 60 feet on Thursday, Joe Frisaro of MLB.com reports.
Analysis:
It was the first time the southpaw threw in three days, as he's been resting and dealing with biceps tendinitis. Although the club believes the ailment isn't too serious, Locke seems content taking things slow. "It's a lot better," Locke said, "but we're not going to say, 'Live BP tomorrow.' We're going to take the next step, whatever that is." When he returns, he'll look to compete for a rotation spot to open the season.
