CHICAGO -- The return of lefty reliever Tony Cingrani from a right oblique strain has taken longer than originally anticipated, but after his first bullpen session on May 9 produced less-than-desired results, Cingrani felt good after he threw again from a mound on Tuesday at Wrigley Field.
Cingrani, who has been on the 10-day disabled list since April 21, threw just 15 pitches in this latest attempt.
"I hate to call it a touch-and-feel, but it was a limited number of pitches," manager Bryan Price said on Wednesday. "He threw the ball really well in his first bullpen and threw more pitches, but I don't think he came out of it as well as we hoped.
