Mac Sceroler - Not yet throwingSceroler (shoulder) hasn't yet resumed throwing, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports.
ImpactManager Brandon Hyde said Saturday that Sceroler is progressing well at the team's alternate training site, and the right-hander's shoulder is feeling better. However, a better timetable for Sceroler's return to game action likely won't come into focus until he resumes throwing. The right-hander allowed three runs on five hits and three walks while striking out six in 3.2 innings across his first two major-league appearances.

J.B. Wendelken - Grabs second holdWendelken recorded his second hold in a win over the Orioles on Friday, allowing one hit and recording a strikeout over a scoreless eighth inning.
ImpactWendelken got in and out of the eighth frame in a flash, needing just 10 pitches to record three outs. The 28-year-old right-hander has had just one real hiccup on the season -- he gave up two earned runs over just two-thirds of an inning to the Diamondbacks on April 12 -- but he's otherwise yielded just one other earned run in the nine innings covering his 11 other appearances.
