Maeda (leg contusion) played catch in the outfield Thursday and hopes to make his next scheduled start, Ken Gurnick of MLB.com reports.
Maeda suffered a minor leg contusion during his start on Tuesday but has been optimistic since then that he won't miss any time. He did some light work Thursday, playing catch in the outfield, and says that he feels good enough to not require a bullpen session. It's been nearly all good news since his scruff up Tuesday and pending any surprising setbacks, the 28-year-old will be out there Sunday on his normal schedule.
