Murfee (elbow) tossed 25 pitches in live batting practice at the Astros' spring training facility in Florida on Monday, MLB.com reports.
Throwing live BP represents another milestone in the recovery process for Murfee, who underwent surgery last July to repair a torn UCL in his right elbow. The Astros could have him throw a couple more live BP sessions before he heads out on a minor-league rehab assignment. Murfee could be an option for the Houston bullpen in late August or early September.
