Jesus Tinoco Resumes Throwing Program
Miami Marlins right-hander Jesus Tinoco (forearm) resumed a throwing program on Monday, according to MLB.com's Christina De Nicola. Tinoco is recovering from a strained right forearm that has knocked him out for most of the month of June. The 30-year-old veteran is progressing, though, and will have a chance to come off the 15-day injured list before the All-Star break in mid-July as long as he doesn't suffer any setbacks once he resumes facing live hitters. In his first full season in Miami, Tinoco has already recorded a career-high four saves while also sporting a bloated 5.12 ERA (3.95 FIP) and 1.29 WHIP with 10 strikeouts and eight walks in 19 1/3 innings pitched over 20 appearances. He quickly moved into a high-leverage role for the Fish last year after stops with the Rangers and Cubs. When he returns, he could be in the mix for saves again at the back end of the Marlins' bullpen.
