Cishek (hip) is scheduled to throw a bullpen session sometime next week, Greg Johns of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

It's been a slow recovery so far for Cishek, who underwent microfracture hip surgery last October. He'll finally throw a bullpen session next week and, if all goes well, will continue to increase his workload. The 30-year-old still doesn't have a firm return date, but it's increasingly looking like it will be sometime after late April. When he does return, he'll likely slot into the setup role for closer Edwin Diaz.
