The right-hander is scheduled to throw his fourth bullpen session Tuesday in Clearwater and, if that goes well, he would make a rehab start with the Class A Threshers on Thursday, the Phillies' website reports.
The Threshers host the Fort Myers Miracle at 7 p.m. Thursday at , 601 N. Old Coachman Road.
