Tsuyoshi Wada to throw off mound Monday
Tsuyoshi Wada - R - Baltimore Orioles
Feb. 22, 2013 - 12:35 PM ET

Tsuyoshi Wada (elbow) will throw off a mound Monday for the first time since undergoing Tommy John surgery.

Wada has been throwing off a half-mound and is ready to take the next step. The Japanese import is hoping to be ready to pitch for the Orioles by late May, but he's far from a guarantee to have a rotation spot waiting for him.
