KISSIMMEE, Fla. (AP) --Chuck James threw off the mound for the first time this spring, the next step in his recovery from a partially torn rotator cuff.
James threw just 15 fastballs at half-speed but was encouraged by the results.
James was relieved to learn that something was wrong with his shoulder after struggling to get comfortable through nagging aches and pains much of last season.
If there are no setbacks tomorrow, James will return to the mound the following day, likely adding a few more throws to his routine.
