Aaron Harang (forearm) threw 50 pitches in a simulated game on Wednesday and the results were extremely positive, according to MLB.com. "He looked pretty good," said manager Dusty Baker, who watched from behind the batting cage. "I was surprised that his location was really good and velocity was good. His changeup was pretty good."Harang will throw a light session in the bullpen on Friday and if that goes well he will head to Triple-A next week to make a rehab start with a pitch limit of 75. Given that fact, he will likely need to make two starts in the minors putting his return around before middle of August.
