Crain (biceps) has thrown off flat ground, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports.

Analysis:

After taking anti-inflamatories, it's encouraging to see Crain already tossing the ball around. The next step in his recovery from bursitis in his right elbow will likely include long toss. No matter, he isn't expected to be available until June at the earliest.
