Big Unit Moves Closer to Return

by Jeff FletcherFiled under: Giants, MLB InjuriesSAN FRANCISCO -- Randy Johnson faced hitters in two simulated innings on Monday afternoon and then said he could be ready to be activated within a couple days."If I get up tomorrow and feel fine, hopefully I'll come off the DL," Johnson said. "What my role is, I don't know."Johnson, 46, has been out for more than two months with a torn rotator cuff. He said it's still torn, but through rehab and strengthening exercises, he's built it back to the point that he could pitch out of the bullpen. Giants manager Bruce Bochy didn't say whether Johnson would be activated or how he'd be used.Big Unit Moves Closer to Return originally appeared on Fanhouse MLB Blog on Mon, 14 Sep 2009 20:35:00 EST .
