Strickland (lat) is scheduled to throw another bullpen session Wednesday, Shannon Drayer of 710 ESPN Seattle reports.

EDGE Analysis

Strickland tossed a successful side session Sunday, so he's slated to throw at least one more bullpen before either pitching a simulated game or embarking on a rehab assignment.

Strickland (lat) threw a 20-pitch bullpen session prior to Sunday's game and emerged without setbacks, Greg Johns of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

It was another positive step for Strickland, who was throwing off a mound for the first time since his injury originally occurred in late March. The veteran remains on target for a mid-June return at this point, with a short rehab assignment very likely in order prior to activation.

Strickland (lat) is scheduled to throw a bullpen session Sunday, Greg Johns of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Sunday's session will mark Strickland's first off a mound since he suffered a lat strain at the end of March. Assuming he continues to progress through his rehab without any setbacks, the reliever appears to be tracking toward a return in mid-to-late June.

Strickland (lat) has worked up to throwing at 100 percent off flat ground, Greg Johns of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

The veteran reliever made a good impression on manager Scott Servais with his work off flat ground last Friday, when he was somewhere short of uncorking his throws at full strength. However, Strickland took it a step further Monday, leaving him on track to start bullpen sessions by the end of the coming week.

Strickland (lat) impressed manager Scott Servais with his throwing session Friday, Chris Haft of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Servais remarked that the veteran reliever performed "as if he had no issues at all" during a session in which he threw at a distance of 100 to 110 feet. If he gets through the weekend without setbacks, Strickland could begin throwing bullpen sessions next week.

Strickland (lat) is with the team on the current road trip and participated in an aggressive throwing session on flat ground Tuesday, Greg Johns of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

The veteran reliever continues to work out with trainers daily and is progressing well by all accounts. Strickland is scheduled to throw again Thursday and could begin participating in consecutive sessions as early as Sunday. Strickland will progress to bullpen sessions and live batting practice at some point before eventually embarking on a rehab assignment.

Strickland (lat) played catch again Wednesday and will repeat the process Friday, Greg Johns of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

The veteran reliever remains on an every-other-day throwing program for the time being. Strickland will likely progress to bullpen sessions as the next step in his recovery if he continues to get through his current exercise without setbacks.

Strickland (lat) played catch Monday for the first time since his injury, Greg Johns of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

The reliever's session apparently went well, and he projects to repeat the exercise every other day at approximately a 60-foot distance for the time being. Strickland still projects for a mid-season return, although that will naturally be largely dependent on him getting through the rest of his recovery without setbacks.

Strickland (lat) has been cleared to resume throwing Monday, Greg Johns of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Strickland entered the season as the Mariners' closer before suffering a lat strain after just four appearances. He could eventually reclaim the role, but he remains a while away from returning to game action. Seattle has yet to specify a target return date.

Strickland (lat) was examined by doctors over the weekend and tested out at full strength, Lauren Smith of The News Tribune reports.

EDGE Analysis

The news is certainly encouraging, but it's just one of several benchmarks to go for Strickland. The veteran reliever has yet to even resume throwing, so a mid-June return still appears to be the most accurate timetable for activation. Strickland will likely progress to playing catch at the next step in his rehabilitation.
