Pacheco (elbow) will begin a throwing program next week, Evan Petzold of the Detroit Free Press reports.

EDGE Analysis

Pacheco was placed on the 60-day injured list earlier this week with a right elbow sprain but has apparently progressed enough that he's almost ready to throw again. A sprain is a ligament tear, so Tommy John surgery would likely be on the table if Pacheco isn't able to progress, but for now he'll attempt rehab.
