Josh Tomlin felt good after appearing in a Major League game for the first time in over a year on Thursday, noting that the appearance was emotional and satisfying. Tomlin, who had been sidelined since last July, worked a pair of scoreless innings in his return from Tommy John surgery. He'll continue to pitch out of the bullpen for the time being, but could be a candidate to make a start over the final two weeks of the season.
