Blue Jays' Erik Swanson: Throws live batting practice

Swanson (forearm) threw a live batting practice session Thursday, Shi Davidi of Sportsnet.ca reports.

It's the next step for Swanson as he works his way back from right forearm tightness. A rehab assignment would appear imminent, although it's not yet clear when exactly that will happen. Swanson is eligible for activation April 9.
