Mariners' Casey Sadler: Throws live batting practice

Sadler (shoulder) completed his first live bullpen session of the spring Friday, Shannon Drayer of Seattle Sports reports.

Sadler is working his way back from a shoulder injury that sidelined him for the entire 2022 season. The right-hander was dominant in 2021 with a miniscule 0.67 ERA over his 40.1 innings of work, and if healthy, he could be a bridge to the late-inning duo of Paul Sewald and Andres Munoz. Because of his missed time this spring, however, there's a good chance Sadler won't be ready to join the bullpen until after Opening Day.
