Odorizzi (back) played catch at Tropicana Field on Monday and is expected to throw off a mound Wednesday, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.
The right-hander appears to be on track to make good on his assertion that he wouldn't miss extended time. Odorizzi's lower-back issue has apparently been a recurring one dating back to spring training, so it remains to be seen whether his current DL stint will be enough to eliminate it altogether.
