Mike Napoli took some early batting practice and also hit off a tee and hit soft toss, testing his injured right shoulder. Napoli, on the disabled list since July 6, said he "felt pretty good. Yesterday it was a little sore, but I came out today and there was no pain."

Napoli caught bullpen sessions during Thursday's workout and before Friday's game, but relied on bullpen catcher Steve Soliz to throw the ball for him. Napoli will begin throwing "in the next couple of days."
