Tillman (shoulder) is scheduled to throw off a flat mound for the first time this spring, Roch Kubatko of MASN reports.
EDGE Analysis
He was playing long toss late last week and throwing from a flat mound is just the next step in his throwing program. The 28-year-old is moving along, and it's good news that he hasn't had any recent setbacks, but it still expected that the he won't be ready in time for Opening Day. If all continues to go well, Tillman should be available sometime in early April.
