Peralta (arm) expects to throw off a mound this week, Dylan Hernandez of the Los Angeles Times reports.
Analysis:
A dead arm forced Peralta onto the DL in late April and a pinched nerve in his neck was discovered shortly thereafter. Although the right-hander has been slow in moving through his rehab program, it sounds like he will clear a major hurdle in the coming days by returning to mound work and assuming all goes well, live batting practice won't be too far off.
