Lorenzen (elbow) has thrown off a mound twice at extended spring training, MLB.com reports.
Slowly but surely, Lorenzen is rebuilding strength in his injured elbow, advancing from catch to long toss and now to mound work. He still has a ways to go in his recovery, but it sounds like the Reds will prepare Lorenzen for a relief role in hopes of expediting his return. The right-hander will be eligible for activation June 2.
