Winkler (elbow) is currently throwing from 120 feet, and is hoping to be cleared to pitch off a mound before training camp ends, The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.

It's been a rough couple of years for Winkler, who fractured his elbow last April while throwing a pitch just after making his return from Tommy John surgery. The 27-year-old isn't expected to be ready to compete for a spot in the big league bullpen until sometime this summer, but until he's able to get back on a mound, the Braves won't have a firm timetable for his recovery.
