Zych (right shoulder biceps tendon transfer) is playing catch at spring training and expects to be throwing from 120 feet soon, Greg Johns of MLB.com reports.
Zych continues to progress from his October surgery, and will likely be close to healthy by the end of spring training. The righty missed most of last season with rotator cuff tendinitis and will aim for a middle-relief bullpen role in 2017. He has a solid 2.81 ERA in 32 major league innings.
