John Means Throwing Bullpen Sessions
2 years agoBaltimore Orioles starting pitcher John Means (elbow) has been throwing bullpen sessions every week, using just his fastball and changeup, according to MLB.com, in his recovery from Tommy John surgery that he underwent in April of last season. The 30-year-old is making decent progress and is expected to return at some point in July. Eventually, Means will need to ramp up his bullpen sessions and then complete a rehab assignment. The left-hander threw just eight innings last year, posting a 3.38 ERA, but was a solid fantasy option in 2021, pitching to a 3.62 ERA, 22.7% strikeout rate, 1.03 WHIP, and six victories over 26 starts. If Means can get right back to where he left off, he should be a solid contributor once again, but he may need some time to shake off the rust.
