Infante (elbow) will resume his throwing program Saturday, Andy McCullough of the Kansas City Star reports. Infante plans to serve as the designated hitter in Wednesday's spring contest, so the throwing issue won't keep him out of action entirely. The 33-year-old infielder has a target of 10 spring games that he hopes to play in before Opening Day, and if all continues to go well with the throwing program, he should be ready to resume a regular workload by then. If he suffers any setbacks along the way, Christian Colon would then be in line to make a run for extra reps. No ligament damage was revealed during Friday's MRI, however, suggesting little need to consider backup options just yet.
