Aiden Sims is currently sidelined from throwing against hitters, limiting his immediate availability for upcoming fall exhibition contests. Caden McCoy and David Ramirez are expected to resume throwing programs later in the fall, which serves as a key indicator for their eventual return to competitive rotation roles.
