Phillies pitcher Sean O'Sullivan took the mound hours before the game against Miami to throw a two-inning simulated game.
O'Sullivan is on the 15-day disabled list with a knee injury. He threw 50 pitches and followed a normal game-day routine.
"Tried to treat it like a normal outing," O'Sullivan said, per MLB.com. "I warmed up and threw my pregame warmup like I normally would, then waited a few minutes, went out, threw a first inning of 20 pitches or so, sat down for a few minutes, back out there for another 20 or so pitches. It felt good. Threw everything ... The idea was mostly to see how my knee would hold up, let it loose with the break in between to see if it would stiffen up or not. But it didn't, so everything feels good so far."
