Orioles reliever Pedro Strop completed a 20-pitch simulated game Tuesday, MLB.com reports. Strop said it went well.
He plans to fly to Sarasota Wednesday to throw in extended spring training. He'll throw an inning Thursday and will then meet with the team Friday in Tampa Bay.
Strop is eligible to come off the disabled list Saturday. He's hoping it comes either Saturday or Sunday as he is no longer having lower-back issues.
