Papelbon (intercostal) has not updated his timetable but says he is back to throwing, Chelsea Janes of the Washington Post reports.

EDGE Analysis

Intercostal strains have a tendency to linger, so it's a good sign that Papelbon is already up and throwing within a week of heading to the disabled list. Still, he has a long way to go, and it's too early to assume he'll be able to make it back to the mound by his earliest possible return date, June 28. Expect him to go on a short rehab assignment before he returns to closing for the Nationals.
