Mize (elbow) began a throwing program Monday, Evan Woodbery of MLive.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Mize has been sidelined nearly two weeks by a medial elbow sprain, and his return to throwing is a significant step in his recovery. The 24-year-old will need to build his arm back up after the brief shutdown, so he's unlikely to be back from the injured list for at least a couple weeks.
