Nunez (forearm) threw 20 pitches of live batting practice Friday and expects to begin a rehab assignment next, Laura Albanese of Newsday reports.
Nunez went up against batters for the first time since being placed on the injured list July 26 and left the session without a setback. While it's unclear when he'll be shipped out for a minor-league rehab assignment, the 28-year-old expects a rehab stint to be the next step in his recovery from a strained right forearm.
