At least Garrett Crochet is making progress.

Garrett Crochet just threw one inning of live batting practice and said it went well. He says the shoulder fatigue is behind him and now he's focused on the next five days.

He's unsure if he'll go on a rehab assignment or not but expects to at least do a bullpen session and another live batting practice.
