Nuno (hamstring) is close to throwing live batting practice, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.
The veteran southpaw has been on the disabled list since July 4 with a hamstring strain he suffered in a 16-inning win against the Marlins the night prior. The fact Nuno is reportedly approaching a live BP session is particularly encouraging, given that it's usually the final step before a minor-league rehab assignment.
