Luke Hochevar is scheduled to come off the disabled list on June 27. He originally went down on June 12 with a right elbow sprain.
While he's throwing on flat ground he has yet to pitch on a mound -- unlike his teammate Gil Meche.
"I don't know yet," Hochevar said. "Up to this point, everything has been going well. I don't have any pain -- I never really had pain-pain, but the area I was feeling is just kind of muscle tightness now. We just got to work through that and make sure it just stays that and we don't fire anything back up."
No timetable has been given.
