The Big Unit continues his road to recovery from back surgery. The East Valley Tribune says his bullpen session on Thursday went well, and that he's expected to throw again on Saturday."The logistics haven't been worked out, but he will pitch on Saturday, and it will be in a game situation," [manager Bob] Melvin said ... Johnson will not throw in either split-squad game against the White Sox or Padres, more likely in a "B" game against minor league hitters.Just like any other baseball fan or curious fantasy owner, the Unit wants to know how he'll stack up against opposing hitters:
"I'm very much interested to see how I do at this next point," Johnson said.The Diamondbacks are projecting a mid to late April return for Randy, but more times than not, players return from injury after their projected date.
