Morton (lat) is increasing the intensity of his weight room workouts but has yet to resume throwing, Jake Kaplan of the Houston Chronicle reports.
Morton was placed on the 10-day disabled list with a lat strain on May 28 and was shut down from all throwing activities for at that time. Based on the fact that he's not yet able to throw, it seems as though the veteran hurler is still a ways away from rejoining the Astros' rotation.
