Dodgers' Brandon Beachy: Throws off mound Saturday

Beachy (arm) resumed throwing off a mound Saturday, J.P Hoonstra of the Los Angeles News Group reports.

Beachy has been battling arm tendinitis since early March, but he was finally able to get back on the mound Saturday after being given a week to rest following a disastrous outing against Arizona. He'll likely need a few more mound sessions before he can be considered a go for game action, however. Look for Beachy to start the year at Triple-A despite the rash of injuries to the back end of the Dodgers' rotation.
