Throwing from 90 feetPirates director of sports medicine Todd Tomczyk said Wednesday that Davis (elbow) has been throwing on flat ground from 90 feet, Kevin Gorman of TribLive.com reports.
ImpactDavis was placed on the 60-day injured list with a left elbow sprain early in spring training, but he appears to be progressing well in his recovery. The southpaw will miss the first few months of the season but could appear in the majors once he's healthy after he made nine relief outings with the Phillies and Pirates in 2020.

Back hitting againPirates director of sports medicine Todd Tomczyk said Wednesday that Tucker (hand) has been cleared to resume all hitting activities, Kevin Gorman of TribLive.com reports.
ImpactTomczyk didn't reveal whether Tucker is still facing any limitations with his fielding, but considering the 24-year-old is dealing with a bruise on his left (non-throwing) hand, he shouldn't be sidelined for too much longer. Tucker has been held out of the Pirates' Grapefruit League lineup since he was scratched with the hand contusion ahead of a March 3 game against the Rays.
