Wieters (elbow) hit off a pitching machine Friday, Rich Dubroff of CSNmidatlantic.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

This is a step forward, but there has been no word yet on when Wieters might be cleared to resume throwing. Wieters left a game last weekend in the first inning with soreness in his surgically-repaired right elbow. X-rays were negative and an MRI came back clean, but his status for the start of the year is undeniably cloudy with about two weeks left in spring training.
