Velasquez (biceps) is scheduled to throw a bullpen Saturday and Sunday and could go on a rehab assignment soon, Meghan Montemurro of The News Journal reports.
Velasquez was placed on the 15-day DL a week ago due to a right biceps strain that he suffered on June 8 against the Cubs. He left that game after two pitches, but has played catch earlier this week and seems to be progressing without any setbacks at this point. Velasquez is eligible to return on June 24 but will probably return toward the end of the month since the team does not want to rush him back.
