Jamie Moyer Progresses

On Monday, Jamie Moyer threw off a mound for the first time since injuring his left elbow in July. In a 20-pitch bullpen session, he threw all fastballs. The next test comes Friday in another bullpen session.

"For the first time, I was very pleased," Moyer said.

The 47-year-old lefthander suffered a sprained ulnar collateral ligament and a strained tendon July 20 in St. Louis.

Since then, Moyer has been rehabilitating after he was told he would not need Tommy John surgery.

He has talked about possibly pitching in the Fall Instructional League but has yet to discuss the matter with the Phillies.

"I'm assuming we'll just wait and see how things progress and go from there," Moyer said.

"Everything has been positive so far. To set any timetables on it, I don't think it's fair."
