Bautista will resume throwing within the week, but is unlikely to return to the field until next week, Shi Davidi of Sportsnet reports.

Analysis:

Bautista has been able to return to the lineup for seven straight games after suffering a right shoulder strain, but has only been able to serve as the designated hitter during that span. He'll be re-evaluated later in the week, but should be able to continue slotting in as the DH until he's ready to resume his right field duties.
