Diamondbacks' Mike Leake: Throws sim game

Leake (wrist) threw 68 pitches over four innings in a simulated game Thursday, Daniel Kramer of MLB.com reports.

Leake "struck out" five batters in a highly controlled situation, in which he threw from a behind a screen while still sporting a cast on his left (non-throwing) wrist. He'd only thrown bullpen sessions prior to Thursday, but the Diamondbacks wanted to get a look at the right-hander in an environment with batters.
