Billingsley throws bullpen session, everything A-OK

Chad Billingsley (right groin) finished up a short bullpen session Friday morning and said it went well. He threw about 30 pitches off the mound and said he plans to throw about 90 pitches on Sunday morning in a simulated game against minor league hitters.

“I could’ve thrown yesterday but they just wanted to give me an extra day,” Billingsley said. “It went well. I just eased into it and it felt like a normal bullpen session.”

Billingsley said he’s been doing cardio on the bike this week and was scheduled to do a pool session this afternoon.
