Street encouraged after simulated inning

ARLINGTON -- Angels closer Huston Street completed a 20-pitch simulated inning from Globe Life Park on Monday afternoon, facing hitters for the first time since going on the disabled list with an oblique strain more than three weeks ago.

Street will throw a bullpen session on Tuesday, then pitch in an extended spring game in Arizona on Friday, which he hopes will be his final step before rejoining the team. The 32-year-old right-hander expects "additional soreness than you're used to" when he resumes pitching in Major League games but believes he'll be able to work through it.
