We've finally got a date for Webb’s first bullpen session in his long, long road to recovery.

Webb said this afternoon that Diamondbacks trainer Ken Crenshaw told him the plan is for him to throw off the mound Friday in Seattle.

Webb has been throwing flat-ground sessions since the end of May and he threw another on Tuesday afternoon in the heavy Kansas City air. Asked how long he threw, a still-dripping-wet Webb said, “Felt like an hour.” It was really more like 15 minutes.

Despite the extended recovery time – Webb has been shut down since April 24 with a teres major strain in his right shoulder – he said there have been no setbacks along the way.

“No, it’s been pretty good,” he said. “I feel like this past week, the last three times throwing, it’s been real good. I think it just keeps progressing. We’re moving in the right direction. It feels better than it’s felt since the season started.”
