Joyce (shoulder) faced hitters in a live bullpen session Friday, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports.
It's the first time Joyce has faced hitters since being shut down from throwing in mid-May. This is a promising sign for the right-hander as he continues to recover from shoulder surgery that he underwent in July of 2025. A clearer timeline for Joyce's return to the majors should emerge once he's been given the green light to embark on a rehab assignment.
