Manaea (shoulder) is scheduled to throw in a simulated game at the team's minor-league facility in Arizona on Saturday, Martin Gallegos of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

The sim game will be yet another pivotal step in the recovery process for Manaea, who most recently threw a successful batting practice session. If all goes off without a hitch Saturday, Manaea could be ready to embark on a minor-league rehab assignment, although manager Bob Melvin also left open the possibility that the southpaw logs at least one more sim game.
