EDGE Analysis

Ross completed a 30-pitch bullpen session last week and will now progress to facing live batters, which is a significant step in his recovery. The 28-year-old isn't eligible to be activated from the 60-day injured list until early June, but he could begin a minor-league rehab assignment in the near future with a strong session Wednesday.
