EDGE Analysis

Tillman has been dealing with a hip ailment for the past week, but appears to be making significant progress. His tentative timetable is to rest a few days after the upcoming bullpen session before throwing a live batting practice, which should put him in line to make his Grapefruit League debut March 9 or 10.
