Brandon Webb (shoulder) throws off mound
Brandon Webb - S - Arizona Diamondbacks
Feb. 9, 2010 - 2:30 PM ET

Brandon Webb successfully threw off a mound on Tuesday for the first time since undergoing shoulder surgery last August.

"[It] went good," Webb said. "[The] ball came out well, but I was just thinking about arm slot on every throw. That's to be expected, not having thrown on the mound in so long." Expect the Diamondbacks to handle Webb with restraint during spring training, but the 30-year-old right-hander doesn't see any reason why he shouldn't be ready for the beginning of the season.
