Rockies pitcher Jordan Lyles (toe) threw a 30-pitch simulated game Saturday, The Denver Post reports.
Lyles saw his season end in June when he required surgery on his fractured toe, but it sounds like the Rockies have outlined a throwing program during the offseason in order for him to pick up some innings.
The 24-year-old is expected to report to either instructional or winter league to throw around 40 innings prior to spring training. The Rockies should have a rotation spot waiting for Lyles when he returns next season.
