Cincinnati's Anthony DeSclafani (elbow) has been cleared to resume throwing

Cincinnati Reds starting pitcher Anthony DeSclafani (elbow) has been cleared to play catch Thursday.

What It Means:

DeSclafani was scratched from his Cactus League start on Tuesday with a sore elbow, but it didn't seem too serious. Now that he is throwing again after being cleared by Dr. Timothy Kremchek on Wednesday, he could be ready for a spring start soon.

Our models project DeSclafani to log 169.1 innings with a 4.23 ERA and 145 strikeouts in 2017.
