Daniel McCutchen will throw in the bullpen again today as he continues to make the adjustment to a lower arm slot, which was suggested to him by manager Buck Showalter and pitching coach Rick Adair. I’ll post his comments later this morning.

Steve Johnson tossed four scoreless innings in Tuesday’s intrasquad game. He gave up a couple hits – doubles by Wilson Betemit and Nolan Reimold. He also retired Reimold twice. He’s starting Sunday against the Minnesota Twins in Sarasota.
