Cubs pitcher Neil Ramirez was able to play catch Wednesday in Arizona as he works his way up to throwing off the mound, according to MLB.com.

Ramirez, who is currently on the 15-day DL with right shoulder inflammation, picked up the injury in last week during his appearance against the Reds. Ramirez has a 1-0 record with a 3.00 ERA in three innings of work with four strikeouts and three walks.
