Hultzen (shoulder) threw 28 pitches in his first live BP session of the spring, Greg Johns of MLB.com reports.

Analysis:

Hultzen, who was shut down at the end of last season to preserve his surgically repaired shoulder, said he emerged from the session feeling great. However, given the fact that manager Lloyd McClendon said the team is "probably building for 2016" with Hultzen, he projects to spend significant time in the minors this season.
