Pirates director of sports medicine Todd Tomczyk said Monday that Holderman (illness) will throw a live batting practice session within the next few days, Jason Mackey of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.

Holderman is ramping things back up after battling a nasty virus. He will begin the season on the injured list but could be activated when first eligible or shortly after. Holderman is in line for high-leverage relief innings ahead of closer David Bednar.
