Nathan (elbow/forearm) threw a light bullpen session Wednesday, The Detroit News reports. Nathan isn't expected to miss much time, and he may even be ready after the minimum 15 days. Tigers manager Brad Ausmus said the 40-year-old will pick up right where he left off in the closer's role, which is currently being filled by Joakim Soria.
