Braves | Brandon Beachy working his way back

Atlanta Braves SP Brandon Beachy (elbow) continues his recovery from Tommy John surgery nearly five months ago, but his recovery is still a bit unknown. "I can't even tell you what my throwing program will be at the start of any week," Beachy said. "I specifically told (the trainers) not to tell me. Just when I show up, tell me what I have to do that day. That way, I'm not looking ahead, because I know I'll just get anxious and start circling dates on my calendar." He has already played catch from 30, 45 and 90 feet, and he has regained some arm strength slowly. Beachy will be cleared to throw off a mound again in a couple of months if he doesn't suffer any setback, and he'll likely increase his activity during spring training. He hopes to be back in the rotation around the middle of June.
