According to Tim Dierkes of MLB Trade Rumors, Sergio Mitre plans to throw for MLB teams in March or April. Mitre was limited to two appearances after the All-Star break last year due to a shoulder injury, but he intends to pitch this season. The 31-year-old right-hander owns a 5.21 ERA over 143 appearances (64 starts) in the majors.
