Rafael Soriano threw a bullpen Tuesday and is scheduled to throw another one today. If all continues to go well, a return shortly after the All-Star break isn’t out of the question. The news isn’t as good with Pedro Feliciano, who cut short a throwing session.

“Feliciano’s shutting it down for the week,” Girardi said. “He experienced soreness, so we’ll see what the next step is.”

Damaso Marte threw a bullpen yesterday, but few expect him to be in the mix at any point this season.
