Wainwright (abdomen) faced Cardinals' hitters Sunday during a live practice session, throwing around 35 pitches without issue, the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports. Wainwright admitted after that he's probably not ready for games yet but is clearly getting closer as he's progressed through his rehab thus far with no setbacks. It could be near a week yet before Wainwright gets into a spring game.
