Cardinals pitcher Adam Wainwright plans on throwing a live batting practice this coming Sunday in spring training, according to MLB.com.
This would follow a high-intensity bullpen of nearly 50 pitches he threw on Thursday.
"Good bullpen. I stepped up the intensity and velocity of everything, all my pitches," Wainwright said, via the St. Louis Post-Dispatch. "I threw with a greater convicton. I felt very good coming out of it. I felt very good doing it. So, very good step."
Wainwright is coming off of an abdomen injury sustained in February.
