Giants' Ethan Small: Faces hitters Friday
Ethan Small (oblique) threw a 20-pitch live batting practice session Friday, MLB.com reports.Small had been vying for a spot in the San Francisco Giants' Opening Day bullpen during spring training before sustaining a Grade 2 right oblique strain late in camp that resulted in him opening the season on the injured list. He was shut down for about two months before he was finally cleared to start playing catch, and he's been gradually increasing the volume and intensity of his throwing sessions.
