Cardinals pitcher Adam Wainwright had his last day of throwing from 90 feet on Saturday.
Wainwright stepped and threw 40 times from that distance on Saturday, feeling no pain from the Achilles and ankle injuries that have him out for the season.
Wainwright will increaes his distance to 120 feet, and he's on schedule to begin throwing from the mound in September.
"I'm getting better every week," Wainwright told StlToday.com. "I'll continue to show up here to the field every day and expect to get better. There will be certain tests I have to pass in September."
