Kyuji Fujikawa (elbow) is up to throwing 45 pitches and could throw live batting practice sometime this week. The right-hander underwent Tommy John surgery last June, so it'll still be a few months before he's back in a Cubs uniform. He's in the final year of a two-year, $9.5 million deal and will look to show teams what he can do over the second half of the season.
