Diamond (elbow) faces hitters Thursday
Scott Diamond - S - Minnesota Twins
March 14, 2013 - 5:25 PM ET

Scott Diamond threw live batting practice Thursday for the first time elbow surgery in December.

Assuming all is well with the elbow, the next step is his Grapefruit League debut on Monday. Diamond won't have enough time to get stretched out for the start of the season, but the Twins are hoping he'll only have to miss a week or two.
