Jeremy Guthrie (back) played catch from 90 feet Saturday without any issues. Guthrie said his back "felt better as it went on." He's hoping to throw a bullpen session Sunday, and if that goes off without a hitch, he'll likely be cleared to start on Tuesday against the Pirates. Brad Bergesen will fill in if Guthrie isn't quite ready.
