Schilling Throws For First Time This Season

Reporting
Dan Roche
BOSTON (WBZ) ― Red Sox right-hander Curt Schilling threw for the first time this season as part of his rehab from a shoulder/bicep injury.

Schilling threw 25 times from 60 feet in what was basically a game of catch with Sox pitching coach John Farrell.

WBZ's Jonny Miller reports Schilling and Farrell were interrupted two or three times by someone mowing the infield grass at Commercial Park. 

Schilling is scheduled to throw again on Thursday. 

He has shut the arm down since having problems throwing in January. He wanted to undergo biceps surgery at the urging of his doctor, Craig Morgan, while the Sox and Dr. Thomas Gill prescribed "rest and rehab." He ended up following the orders of the Sox.

The Sox hope to have Schilling available at some point this season, perhaps as soon as the All-Star break.

Schilling enters the season as the winngest pitcher in the history of the postseason as he is 10-2 with a 2.23 ERA.
