Updated on June 20, 2025 at 1:18pm

Javier (elbow) threw a 20-pitch live batting practice session Thursday, Chandler Rome of The Athletic reports.

Javier had been limited to bullpen sessions until Thursday, but his ability to face hitters is a milestone in his recovery. All reportedly went well, with manager Joe Espada reporting Javier hit 95 mph with his fastball as he continues to ramp up coming off Tommy John surgery.
