Scott Diamond (elbow) hopes to throw off a mound by the end of the week.

Diamond is behind the other Twins' starters after having surgery in December to remove a bone chip from his elbow. He's building up his arm strength by playing catch and is hoping to get back on schedule quick enough to be ready for the start of the season.
