DeSclafani (elbow) played catch from 45-to-60 feet Sunday, Zach Buchanan of the Cincinnati Enquirer reports.
It was the first time that DeSclafani had been able to throw since the Reds shelved him in spring training due to a UCL sprain. With the right-hander still in the very initial phase of the recovery process, he's likely more than a month away from rejoining the Reds rotation.
