Reliever T.J. McFarland said his left elbow feels better today and the swelling continues to go down. He could throw later this week, though there's no timetable.

"The swelling's gone down again today, so that's a good sign. It's going in the right direction," he said.

"Still no specific dates or timeline or timetable yet, but the swelling's gone down significantly, so that's a good sign."

Manager Buck Showalter indicated yesterday that McFarland could get back on the mound later this week.

"Yeah, that would be in the range," McFarland said. "It's all dependent on how the swelling goes. It's going down, so it's very encouraging. It's good. It's a good sign."

McFarland last pitched on Sunday against the Red Sox. He won't have to start over as if it's the first day of camp.

"I thought I wouldn't have to," he said. "Right now, I've only taken three days off. The process to get back to it probably wouldn't take that long at all. Luckily, it happened earlier in camp rather than later. That way we had some time to work with."

McFarland continues to get treatment on the elbow while waiting to throw again.

"Kind of day by day thing, just to see how it reacts and how the swelling goes down and we'll go from there," he said.
