Nova (elbow) threw one inning in a simulated game Monday and could pitch in an extended spring game Saturday, the Associated Press reports. Nova has been able to steadily increase the level of activity of late as he's been throwing live batting practice sessions throughout April. Pitching in an extended spring game would mark a big next step, and if he's able to get through that without incident, a rehab stint could follow shortly after as the 28-year-old appears to still be on track for a return by the start of June.
