Morton (shoulder) threw a 20-pitch bullpen session Saturday and felt good afterwards, Neil Solondz of the Rays Radio Network reports.

Morton continues to take small steps forward in terms of his progression after being diagnosed with shoulder inflammation last weekend. The veteran right-hander is expected to play catch Sunday and Monday before another bullpen session Tuesday. As long as he doesn't suffer any setbacks in the process, Morton could be activated as early as Thursday, though a return to the rotation over the weekend in for the Rays' home series versus Toronto is more likely.
