Diamondbacks' Steven Souza: Not yet cleared for throwing
Souza underwent an MRI on Monday that revealed reduced swelling of his right pectoral muscle, but doctors didn't clear him to resume a throwing program, Steve Gilbert of MLB.com reports.
Analysis:
Souza began taking live batting practice and playing catch last week, but the Diamondbacks continue to restrict him from taking part in game-like throwing. Until that happens, Souza likely won't have a firm timeline to return from the 10-day disabled list. His ongoing absence paves the way for Jon Jay to continue handling most of the starts in right field.
