Juan Perez threw a bullpen session Monday for the first time since being hospitalized for a collapsed lung two weeks ago.

"He threw a bullpen [Monday] -- it went real well, and he's accelerating fast," said Brewers manager Ron Roenicke. "He had a smile on his face and he felt good." Perez, a non-roster invitee, is scheduled to throw another side session Thursday and Roenicke said it's still "to be determined" whether the 33-year-old southpaw has a chance at making the Opening Day roster.

Juan Perez is still in the hospital, recovering from a partially collapsed left lung.

Brewers manager Ron Roenicke said Tuesday that he's not sure when Perez will be able to resume throwing. The lefty seems unlikely to crack the Brewers' Opening Day roster, no matter how quickly he's able to recover.

Juan Perez was hospitalized Sunday morning with a partially collapsed left lung.

Perez was in consideration for the bullpen as a non-roster invitee, but is now looking at missing extended time this spring. "It's a tough break for him," manager Ron Roenicke said. "He was throwing the ball great. You always feel for the guy when he's doing that well and he's got a chance and then something happens."
