Samuel Deduno throws live batting practice as he works way back from DL
June 14: Astros 13, Mariners 0
Lance McCullers had it going early, tossing five no-hit innings before a high pitch count forced him to give way to the bullpen, which finished off the series-clinching win over the Mariners.
Record: 36-28Righthander Samuel Deduno, who is on the 15-day disabled list with a lower back strain, threw a 15-pitch live batting practice Monday afternoon.
The live BP session was Deduno’s first test since he suffered a setback two weeks ago in a rehab assignment.
“I felt good,” he said. “For it being the first day I felt good. I think the next step would be to go out and pitch somewhere on a rehab again.”
