Report: Hideki Okajima to Begin Throwing Program

Hideki Okajima is set to throw his first rehab bullpen session in Arlington on Sunday.

Okajima, who has been on the disabled list since August 6 with a left hamstring strain, will be reevaluated at the end of the week as he continues his throwing program, reports ESPN.

The Red Sox reliever has struggled this season, posting a 5.85 ERA — by far the worst of his career — and has been bothered by nagging ailments all season.
