Brandon Beachy - S - Atlanta Braves

Brandon Beachy (elbow) has been throwing long-toss from 120 feet and is expecting to increase the distance to 150 feet within the next week.
Beachy had Tommy John surgery last June and is hoping to return to the Braves' starting rotation before this year's All-Star break. After stepping up the long-toss efforts, Beachy's next step will be simulating his throwing motion from flat ground. If everything goes according to plan, Beachy could be cleared to begin throwing off a mound with a controlled motion around the start of spring training.
