Jason Grilli (forearm) threw a successful 25-pitch simulated game on Wednesday afternoon. If he wakes up feeling fine on Thursday, the right-hander will be cleared to begin a minor league rehab assignment on Saturday with Double-A Altoona. Barring setbacks, Grilli is about 10 days from rejoining the Bucs. The veteran closer has been out since late July.
