Angels' Matt Shoemaker: Begins playing long toss

Shoemaker (forearm) began throwing from 150-200 feet Tuesday, Mike DiGiovanna of the Los Angeles Times reports.

Shoemaker began playing catch 10 days ago and is continuing to ramp up his throwing. He'll look to begin throwing from the mound in the coming days and then will likely require a minor-league rehab stint. Shoemaker is still at least a couple of weeks away from rejoining the Angels' rotation.
