March 15, 2013 - 9:10 AM ET

Orioles manager Buck Showalter said Tsuyoshi Wada (elbow) is done with the rehab phase and will now work on becoming game-ready.

"Now he's going to progress to baseball function ability," Showalter said. "The breaking ball is going to start. It's exciting watching him throw. Now we can move to the next part of it, which is the baseball part of it ' locating his pitches, spinning the ball. It's more, 'I'm working on something that helps me get people out' as opposed to, 'Am I healthy?'" Wada isn't expected to be an option for the O's until late May.
