Urquidy (shoulder) threw 25 pitches in a bullpen session Thursday, Chandler Rome of the Houston Chronicle reports.
Urquidy was placed on the 10-day injured list with right shoulder inflammation Sunday, but he felt good after his throwing session Thursday. It's not yet clear when the right-hander will be able to return to game action, but he appears to be trending in the right direction. Houston will likely send Urquidy out to Triple-A Sugar Land for a rehab start next week rather than immediately activating him from the IL.
