Jason Grilli (forearm) threw a bullpen session Thursday. It's the first time he's thrown off a mound since landing on the DL with a strained right flexor tendon. There's no word on what the next step is for the closer, but Grilli will likely need a few more mound sessions before going out on a short rehab assignment. Barring a setback, he'll be activated in early September.
