DeSclafani (oblique) will throw his second bullpen session of the week Friday, MLB.com reports.
If all goes well Friday, DeSclafani will face live hitters Monday in Cincinnati before departing for a minor league rehab assignment. The team has not said how many rehab starts he'll make, but DeSclafani worked up to 45 pitches in his last bullpen session, so perhaps the right-hander will only need one or two starts in order to be cleared to rejoin the major league rotation.
