Brandon Morrow (finger) is hoping to be ready to pitch in games by the first week of August. Coming back from a torn tendon sheath in his right index finger, Morrow began playing catch on June 20. He'll start throwing breaking balls in a week or so before eventually throwing off a mound. "Tentatively, real tentatively, I guess first week of August for getting back in games would seem about right," Morrow said. "But based on how I'm doing, that could move up a few days or a week or maybe be pushed back a few days or a week. It's not so cut and dry with something like this, it's not that common so there's not exactly known procedures and protocols."
