Shoemaker (oblique) said his bullpen session Tuesday went "great" and he has "no doubt all all" he'll pitch in the ALDS, Alden Gonzalez of MLB.com reports.
The right-hander missed his final two starts of the regular season due to an oblique strain, but he appears on track to start Sunday's Game 3 of the ALDS, after making it through Tuesday's bullpen without issue. Manager Mike Scioscia has yet to formally announce his starters beyond Jered Weaver in Game 1. Shoemaker proved to be a crucial piece in the team's AL-West-winning puzzle, going 16-4 with a 3.04 ERA, 1.07 WHIP and 124 strikeouts across 136 innings this season.
