Odorizzi (lower leg) played catch Friday, Danielle Lerner of the Houston Chronicle reports.

EDGE Analysis

Odorizzi was taken off the field on a stretcher Monday against Boston, and he underwent an MRI recently that revealed some strains and sprains to the ligaments of his right foot/ankle. While the right-hander is still in the early stages of his recovery and doesn't yet have a timetable to return, it's encouraging that he's already been cleared to throw.
