Adam Wainwright pitched to live hitters, Sunday, for the first time this spring.
The Cardinals pitcher is recovering from an abdominal strain, suffered in February. Wainwright threw approximately 35 pitches.
"Some good pitches were made out there," Wainwright told Derrick Goold of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch. "Some rusty pitches were made out there. It’s all about getting back on the mound. I just had a great time. Glad to be out there pitching again. You can throw as many bullpens as you want but when you go out there and crank it up it's a little bit different."
