Victor Caratini (B) - C

Chicago Cubs

Victor Caratini (hand) has started to throw, but not catch, after having surgery, Madeline Kenney of the Chicago Sun Times reports.

Added Yesterday 11:37 pm (EST)

Less than a week after having surgery, Caratini has begun throwing in an effort to keep his arm healthy. This doesn't appear to change his timeline at all, but is a good sign nevertheless.
