Kyle McClellan (back) threw a successful 35-pitch bullpen session Sunday. "I felt great," McClellan said. "I started out nice and easy at 80 percent and, once I got through, I was letting it go 100 percent with no pain. So very encouraging." McClellan is a couple weeks behind but thinks he can still get stretched out enough to compete for the No. 5 spot in the rotation. Realistically, though, he'd be happy to land a gig as a long man in the bullpen.
