Peacock (hip) noticed no discomfort Thursday while running a day after throwing his second bullpen of camp, Jose de Jesus Ortiz of the Houston Chronicle reports.

Analysis:

Peacock ran for 20 minutes on the Alter-G treadmill, which allows runners to control the weight bearing on their joints. He experienced "a little bit of awkwardness" in his hip during a similar running session on Monday, but his positive results Thursday indicate he's prepared to move forward in the recovery process. After throwing 20 and 25 pitches in his previous bullpen sessions, Peacock will throw 30 pitches in his next session Saturday.
