Twins' Jhoan Duran: Throws bullpen session

Duran (oblique) threw a bullpen session Friday, Do-Hyoung Park of MLB.com reports.

The conditions at Comerica Park on Friday were rainy, but Duran got in some mound work anyway. It's the first time he's thrown a bullpen session since he was diagnosed with a Grade 2 right oblique strain back in mid-March. Duran figures to require another bullpen session or two before progressing to facing hitters and eventually going out on a rehab assignment. He would appear to have a shot to be back with the Twins before the end of the month.
